Race Description
ABOUT THE EVENT
An absolutely unique event in Sheffield – The only fun run that doubles as a human car wash!—foam machines in a number of stations on the 5k course bring excitement and fun to the event—you’ll have so much fun you’ll forget you’re even ‘exercising’—and absolutely no STOPWATCHES! Two foam stations, an inflatable assault course and celebrate at the finish line with a big foam party!
THE CAUSE
We are joining with 1000s of runners… all on the same day. With Run for the World, we want to inspire young and old alike to get involved and raise money for disadvantaged young people in Sheffield, to bring them hope and values to build their lives on. See website for details about the specific projects we are supporting. Also organisers can use this event to raise money for their own youth-focused projects
