FAQs

FAQS

What are the distances/events?

There is a 1KM run, 5KM run, 5KM walk & 10KM run option.
All the runs will start and finish on the track. The 5KM & 10KM route will go through mainly flat grassy fields around the stadium.
1KM – The route is 2 and half times around the track in the stadium. Everyone is welcome to participate regardless of age, ability, or if you have children in a buggy.
5KM Run – Challenge yourself with our 5KM route on flat grassy fields.
5KM Walk – Want to take in the scenic greenery as you walk around? This is ideal for those who may not consider themselves as distance runners but are happy walking with friends and family.
10KM – This route is 2 laps of the 5KM route and is generally recommended for the more serious and regular distance runners.

Please note, the 5KM & 10KM routes are not wheelchair or buggy friendly. Please contact the Maccabi GB office on 0208-457-2333 if you wish to discuss further.

There will be water stations on the 5KM and 10KM routes, however we recommend running or walking with your own water bottle as well. Water will be available at the Finish Line!

Do I have to be super-fit to participate?

No. Adults, children and families are all welcome as The Maccabi GB Community Fun Run is aimed at every fitness level.

There is a choice of either a 1KM run/walk, 5KM Run, 5KM walk or 10KM course, so absolutely anybody can participate, from the youngest to the oldest…so no excuses!

Will there be a prize for the winner of each race?

Every runner will receive a Maccabi GB Community Fun Run medal.

Will there be chip timing?

As this is an inclusive event, we will not be measuring every participant's time through chip timing.

What clothing should I bring?

Runners will receive a runners pack which includes a Maccabi GB Community Fun Run cotton t-shirt to wear around the course.

Please wear appropriate clothing and running shoes. The weather can be unpredictable and sometimes very hot, so it is advised to be vigilant on the morning of the event and bring clothes accordingly. Also bring your personal water bottles, and you will be able to pick up more water at the Water Stations on the course

In case it is a hot day, we advise all runners and spectators to bring HATS and SUNSCREEN

How much do I need to raise?

There is no minimum amount to be raised, however this can change depending upon each individual charity. Please be aware that your registration fee goes towards the cost of running the event. It does not go towards your chosen charity or school.

This is a communal charity event and the more money you raise, the more your chosen charity or school will be able to benefit from your participation.

Do I have to run for charity?

On the registration form you will have to choose a charity or school to run for on the day. There is an expectation that you will actively be fundraising for your chosen charity or school.

How many charities can I run for?

You can run for only one charity. We want every charity to maximise the opportunity of receiving sponsorship from your very generous donations.

Help, I don't know which charity to run for!

We have a large list of amazing charities and schools who are all raising money for their vital causes. Please browse through the Maccabi GB Community Fun Run charities/schools list to make your choice.

What safety measures are in place for the event for my family?

Maccabi GB works together with the CST and the Metropolitan Police to ensure that the security and safety of the event is of the highest possible standard. All measures and precautions are taken for the safety of the community. Please note that, for security reasons, everyone will be required to show a wristband to gain entry to the event. Please purchase a spectators wristband ahead of the day; this will be posted to you (if you register too late for postage, you will be able to collect your wristband on arrival).

You will also be able to register on the day.

We at Maccabi GB take full and extensive measures to ensure the safety of all people in attendance. There will be a First Aid vehicle on the fields during the 5Km & 10Km runs, as well as an area with an ambulance ready for all eventualities on the day inside the stadium. The First Aiders will also be roaming the whole site throughout the event.

There is a meeting point for lost children which is the Registration Hut. Please can you point this area out to your children if the unfortunate situation arises. Also, you can direct your children to talk to anyone who is wearing a bright coloured Maccabi GB Community Fun Run STAFF or VOLUNTEER t-shirt.

How much does it cost to spectate?

In order to support the sustainability and security of the event, we have a wristband entry system for the event.

Everyone inside the event will be required to wear a wristband and these will be checked on entry. Runners will have a wristband included in their runner’s package and spectators will be able to purchase these in advance (this will cost £3 per person and prices will increase TO £5 on the day)
