Run for Jo [5k family friendly run in memory of Jo Cox]

On Sunday 28 July, Living Bankside through More In Common Borough and Bankside (a collective of people supported by Living Bankside) will host the finale of the Jo Cox Way, a four day charity bike ride from Yorkshire to London.

Connecting Batley and Spen in Yorkshire to Bankside in London.

The bike ride connects and brings together people of all backgrounds; ethnicities, ages, abilities, genders, sexuality, faiths and those of no particular faith.

Earlier in the day, in partnership with GoodGym, we will host the Run for Jo, a 5km family friendly fun run in and around Bankside.

Both events are inspired by the life and legacy of the late Jo Cox MP.

Running of events:

• The run will start from 12:15.

• There will be a medal presentation ceremony from 13:00 - 13:30.

Everything about the run will be wrapped up by 13:30, but we encourage runners to stay and greet the arrival of the 80+ group of cyclists who will be completing the Jo Cox Way at 14:00.

For the runners, the 5k course:

The Run For Jo will start and finish in O'Meara Street. The route will be down O'Meara Street, take a right on Union Street, left on Southwark Bridge Road, left on Marshalsea, left on Borough High Street, left on Southwark Street and a final left on to O'Meara Street. That's a kilometre, so after 5 circuits/laps, that will equate to 5km.

Want to volunteer instead?

We will need marshalls on the day to mark and make the route safe for runners. Please let us know in the "Comments" below.

Thanks!
