What, Where, When…

I hope you’re looking forward to Sunday as much as we are!  If you have any questions at all, please get in touch by email, or drop me a message on WhatsApp this week.  

With just over a week to go, here are a few details for the day.

The Moxy Hotel has once again very generously offered to provide the Greater Manchester Home-Starts with some space to meet and relax. There will be staff and runners around for most of the day, but personal items are left at your own risk.

If you’ve received your number in the post, you’ll have the meeting, warm up and start times for your wave.  Timing are also in the Event Guide – the Moxy is approximately a 15-min walk from the race start, and bear in mind there will be lots of people to get through.

If you’d like to find someone to walk to the start with, we’d suggest meeting at the Moxy between 10.30 – 10.45am for orange/green 10K waves, and 11.45am – 12 for purple/pink, but do feel free to stick to your own schedule if you prefer.

We have a variety of Home-Start branded running kit including Tri-Dri t-shirts and running vests. You can pick this up at the Moxy on the day. Kit is optional, but does increase our visibility and help raise awareness of Home-Start and the work we do (and we’ll all match in the photos!).

Run packs have been sent out to everyone, but if yours hasn’t arrived in the post before the weekend, you’ll need to collect one from the Information Point (details are in the Event Guide and a little further down the email). 

Find all the information you should need before and on the day at the official run website.

If you haven’t received a run pack, these can be picked up in person. We’d recommend collecting numbers on Saturday as the Information Points get super-busy on Sunday.

You’ll need your confirmation email from Let’s Do This, with your booking reference. If you are unable to make it on Saturday to pick up your number, please do let me know as we can collect one on your behalf and bring it on Sunday morning.

Time; 10:00am – 16:00pm

So far you’ve raised an amazing £1616, and that’s before you’ve run!

Every share of your Enthuse or JustGiving page, on average brings in around £5.  Each pound raised goes straight into supporting our work with local families.  Around 20% of donations come in once the run is completed, so sharing photos from the day is a big one.
