What is the FatRunner Charity Run?
TheFatRunner annual run is an initiative that aims to donate school shoes to the less privileged. This year’s plan is to begin the run at Waterfall Corner and follow a set route with 10km, 21km, 33km distances. This will help accommodating all runners. The run is free and will be seconded with water points at every 5km interval. The water points will provide water, cold drink, Powerade, fruit & Mageu. The seconders will be provided.
A 5-man sweeper team has been hired to follow through after the last runner to pick up litter. The team is also working on having an ambulance on standby for medical emergencies.
Most of the donations will come from the corporate sponsors who are finalising their packages. These are mostly businesses associated with TheFatRunner and some of his friends. We have secured a T-shirt sponsor but the details are still being finalised and further communication will follow.
To fill in the gap where possible, we humbly ask that willing runners donate to the cause.
