Ipswich Half Marathon
We are delighted to be part of the Ipswich Half Marathon for a fourth year and are looking for runners who would like to take part and join the Lighthouse Team.
We have 10 charity places up for grabs this year at a reduced cost of £26 per place. We ask runners who sign up to pledge to raise a minimum of £250.00 in sponsorship for Lighthouse. Lighthouse will provide you with a fundraising pack to help you to engage donors, support via our social media channels, information on how best to maximise your fundraising and of course a t-shirt for race day.
This years’ event takes place on Sunday 21st September, with the start and finish being held at Ipswich Town Football Club. It was such a great event last year and we were overwhelmed to have 19 runners taking part. There was lots going on on the day, local coverage, supporters along the route and entrainment in the event village at Ipswich Town FC.
If you would like to take part as a team with colleagues, friends from your gym, running club etc, this is a fantastic way to raise money for a local charity and get fit, or training for other events.
1 in 4 women and 1 in 6 men in the UK will be affected by domestic abuse in their lifetime and at least a fifth (18%) of children in domestic abuse households are injured as a result of the abuse, therefore it is vital that Lighthouse is there to offer the support that is so desperately needed.
Please click on the link below for the official website and more information about the half marathon but but to join the Lighthouse team you will need to sign up via Lighthouse to claim your charity place.
Please email Deb or call 01473 220770 for more information or to reserve your place.

Colchester 10K
Please, if you can, support our runner.
‘ONE IN FOUR women experience domestic abuse in their lifetime. Just think about that a moment! You likely know someone who has, will or who are experiencing this right now.
Fact: On average, one woman is killed by an abusive partner or ex every five days in England and Wales
Services that support people are needed more and more with less and less funds to keep it going. As every penny counts to help support vulnerable people in my local town, I am pleased to have them in mind for my next running challenge’.
