2025 OUR MOST SUCCESSFUL EVENT EVER

Donate

On Sunday May 11th 2025 1,752 people

took part in Sawston’s annual flagship event – the highest turnout since the event started in 1986.

The sun was shining and atmosphere buzzing with anticipation and excitement as runners and walkers, many in fancy dress, prepared to pound the streets of Sawston.

Sawston Fun Run & Walk, the largest community event of its type in the area, has a long and proud history of bringing the community together to raise money for local worthwhile charities and organisations, especially those supporting the young, elderly and vulnerable groups and since 1986 has managed to raise over £570,000 for these causes.

Gerry Holloway, Co-ordinator of the event said, “Cambridge Sawston Rotarians and other members of the organising committee would like to thank everyone, especially our sponsors, who helped in any way to make this year’s event such a tremendous success. Everybody had a wonderful time and not surprisingly are already looking forward to taking part in the 40^th anniversary Sawston Fun Run & Walk, which will be held on Sunday 10^th May 2026

Advertising and sponsorship opportunities

The Fun Run would not be able to exist without the very generous support provided by many local businesses. Firms help us in many ways, including providing personnel and equipment on the day, having a stall at the Run, advertising the event and through their own website and social media platforms.

We also have a range of advertising and sponsorship opportunities ranging from £50 to £500. Many of these packages give your firm access to the extensive electronic and paper-based marketing materials we use to promote the Fun Run to the population of Sawston and the surrounding areas. Our marketing partner, Red Graphic, coordinates these packages and ensures that your brand will receive considerable exposure in return for your kind support.
