We are extremely happy to announce that BIBS has again been named as one of the official charity partners of the Reading Half Marathon for 2019!
The 2018 Reading Half Marathon was a record-breaker, despite the race being cancelled due to snow! The team still managed to raise a staggering £43,000 which went towards a total needed to purchase two new incubators for Buscot Ward. We’d love to build on the success of last year and hand over an even larger cheque to help them continue their work to save tiny lives.
Interested in joining the team?
…take your starting position in Green Park wearing an official BIBS vest…be cheered on all the way by our loyal BIBS supporters waving purple pom-poms…cross the finish line in the famous Madjeski Stadium in front of the roaring crowds…
It doesn’t matter if you haven’t done much running before, as long as you are passionate about raising vital funds to support Buscot Ward and are up for a challenge, we’d love you to join the team!
What you need to know
We have a limited number of charity places available for a discounted price. To qualify for a charity place, we ask that you commit to raising at least £250. In return, you will receive our full support both on race day and in the run up to the event. We will give you lots of fundraising tips and you’ll be part of a fantastic team to keep you motivated as you train through the winter months. You will receive a free BIBS running vest and lots of goodies to keep your energy levels up on race day. When the race is over, visit our stand in the charity tent to take advantage of our free massage therapists when you return to the race village. Sounds good? Please contact us to find out how to apply for a charity place.
You can also self-register via the Reading Half Marathon website at a cost of £38. You will still receive all the benefits of being part of team BIBS, but without the minimum fundraising pledge of £250. Please get in touch if you choose to self-register.
