On the 8th June, over 800 people from across the Battersea community and beyond came together to support their local schools — from young runners and their families to teachers, volunteers, and sponsors. The atmosphere on the day was electric. Thank you to all the volunteers helping things run smoothly and supporters cheering from the sidelines.
Congratulations to all the young runners who rose to the challenge! The Millennium Arena was alive with energy from start to finish as 650 determined children gave it their all on the track. Every child crossed the finish line with a well-earned medal and a huge smile, showing just how powerful community spirit and determination can be.
A huge thank you to our event sponsors! Their generosity and hands-on support helped us raise an amazing £52,000 alongside our school communities — funds that will go directly toward enrichment projects like school trips, forest school programmes, after-school clubs, music provision, and vital upgrades to playgrounds and sensory spaces. Your partnership is helping to more inclusive educational experiences for every child.
This event would not have been possible without the sponsorship and support of our generous partners.
