Hit the new year running while raising funds for the Leicester Tigers Foundation’s new healthy schools initiative.
The Foundation is a charity partner of Run for All Leicester 10K 2023.
Taking place on Sunday, January 29 and starting from Jubilee Square in Leicester, the route takes runners through the city to Victoria Park before weaving its way through the University of Leicester back to Jubilee Square.
The Tigers Foundation is targeting help for the most disadvantaged areas within our city and raising £10,000 will enable us to reach 2,250 children with free practical activities and guidance around healthy eating and wellbeing.
Foundation manager Sam Swift said: “Current childhood obesity levels within the city double from 13% in Reception year to 26% at Year Six so we are all passionate about understanding the reasons behind this increase and tackling the problem head on.”
This project has attracted initial support from the Everards Foundation but much more is needed to truly make a difference. The more we raise the more children we can reach.

If you raise more than £250, your entry fee will be covered along with receiving a Leicester Tigers Foundation goodie bag which includes a running vest. If you cannot join us for the run but would like to support the Foundation, we are looking for volunteers to help marshal the route on the day.
