A super six GoodGymers went out in the cold to run a lap or few as part of the MCR 24 hr run against homelessness. Aiming to raise over ยฃ100,000 for the Greater Manchester Mayor's Charity, A Bed Every Night, we joined hundreds of other runners for the 5 km loops.
Our designated 7pm slot saw 444(!) people take part, running the streets of Central Manchester. Super effort all round to run as part of a large group and all for a great cause.
In all, 41 laps took place, with 4,848 cumulative laps by those attending covering 24,240 km, which is more than half way around the globe!
So far, over ยฃ60,000 raised including sponsor support, with time still to donate here
It was fab to meet Chris for the first time, alongside Julia post-honeymoon, Gloria fresh from the Frankfurt marathon, Jodie running for the first time in months, Sanjeev, and Ben.
The Manchester 24 Hour Run Against Homelessness is a mass participation group relay run that is held over 24 hours. Runners and walkers set off together in waves to complete 5km laps in the city centre of Manchester, all to raise money for the Greater Manchester Mayor's Charity scheme 'A Bed Every Night'.
