Our Thursday night run on 30 March 2023 is going to be very different! New Balance are throwing us a PARTY to celebrate Swifts being one of only 5 running groups across the UK that New Balance have chosen to represent them at this year’s London Marathon. Once you’ve read the last sentence at the bottom you may want to book the following day off work!

An Eventbrite link will be available shortly – please due to numbers we need to limit this to around 60-70 people so can only let current runners (run with us more than twice in the last 6 months) or former volunteers (Committee members and Run Leaders) to attend, but othewise all current runners are welcome! It will also be free! Approx details and timings as follows, subject to change:

Top line running order:
6-6.30pm         meet at the pub to change into dual branded Swifts/New Balance t-shirts for the run
7pm                  leave for the run (filming and photography as you run)

8.30pm             drag show in the garden
9.15pm             back inside for drag DJ/karaoke

Entertainment: Andy is going to organise for two drag queens to put on a show and then host drag karaoke. During the show, there will be spot prizes and running will be a theme of the show (weaved in authentically)
Food: a hog roast and vegan/veggie option
