Birchwood Lunchtime 5k Charity Fun Runs
These runs are (mostly) organised by Julian Spencer (a member of Spectrum Striders), Matt Murray and other work colleagues & friends. All of the entry money is donated to a charity and some people also raise sponsorship to increase their donation. Everyone involved in the race organisation donates their effort for free - race organiser, people who take entries, marshals. There is often a small gift to finishers (e.g. cereal bar, fruit), donated by a local company.
The races are run during midweek lunchtimes at 12:30. The course is always the same 5k course as for the well-established Forest Park Ladies-only 5k race held every July. The races are often substantial events as you can see from the numbers of finishers below.
