RUN FOR CHARITY
Charity 2025
The Wilmslow Running Festival is a charity in itself, organised by volunteers, from Wilmslow Running Club, Wilmslow Rugby Club, and the Phoenix Sports Club - with the aim of supporting local sports clubs and other local causes.
We are delighted to announce our 2025 charity partner is The David Lewis Centre.
David Lewis is a modern, forward-thinking charity with a track record and reputation built over 120 years. They provide a range of educational, residential and medical services to support adults and young people with complex needs, including learning disabilities, epilepsy and autism. They are based in Cheshire, but through their residential services, support people from across the UK.
HOW THE WILMSLOW RUNNING FESTIVAL GIVES BACK EVERY YEAR
Donations
Income from the race, after costs, is donated to local sports clubs and deserving causes (we are run by volunteers and are not a commercial enterprise).
Partnerships
We partner with charities and supply them with free places and publicity to help them raise money directly through the event as well as offering race entrants the opportunity to donate at sign up.
Community
Our local event sponsors enable the Wilmslow Running Festival and our charity partners to maximise the amount of money we can raise and donate each year.
