Community Project of the Year 2025

This award provides affiliated clubs, RunTogether groups and associated partners the opportunity to celebrate projects or activities they have been involved in that have benefitted the community.

This award is about more than athletics and running – it is about championing how much those involved in our sport care about others.

Through this category we want to celebrate all the good things that athletics and running does for the community. This award allows us to recognise projects and ongoing activities such as:

• Connecting with different groups across the community (for example, youth groups, local schools, other sports clubs, charities, respite services.
• Raising funds for charitable causes (this can include donations from club events or races).
• Increasing awareness of important initiatives
• Supporting individuals and/or deprived areas (for example, food bank runs).
• Improving facilities within the community.
• Improving accessibility and providing support for people with disabilities.

Listen to what our Club Support Manager Richard Ayling says about the category and how to nominate.
