Team ONSIDE are making final preparations before runners take on the challenge of the 10th Worcester City Runs this Sunday.
By completing the course on 15th September, 32 runners who have signed up will be fundraising for local charity ONSIDE. Amongst those taking on the 10K challenge is ONSIDE’s Interim Deputy Chief Executive, Ruth Heywood. “We’ve got the most amazing group of runners supporting ONSIDE. The team is made up of staff, trustees, friends, family and ONSIDE supporters. They have all spent the last couple of months training hard and supporting each other to get run ready. Most of the team are running the 10K but three are literally going the extra miles and tackling the Half Marathon.”
One supporter, Julia Williams, of Worcestershire Ambassadors, has also been training hard. “I’m running for Team ONSIDE even though I have never participated in a race before. My motivation stems from my belief in ONSIDE and the incredible work they do. Supporting ONSIDE through this race is my way of giving back. With resilience and dedication, we can achieve remarkable things.”
Ruth continues, “It is a brilliant event for Worcester City and this year marks the 10th anniversary which is set to be a sell out! The atmosphere for runners and supporters will be awesome – our cheer squads will make sure of that!”
ONSIDE will be encouraging all runners at two ‘Cheer Points’ on the course and volunteers are welcome to get involved and join the fun by emailing runforonside@onside-advocacy.org.uk. The public are also able to show their support by donating to the charity via their Just Giving page.
