Matrescence Festival Fundraiser - 5k a day!

from £5.00

Hello, Lizzy here. I have set myself the challenge to run 5k a day to raise £500 for Matrescence Festival Exeter which will take place on 20th June at Alibi.

Starting on Monday 16th March I will run 5k everyday for 5 days (except Friday which will be a 5k walk with other m/others). The week will culminate in a final run on Saturday 21st March where I will complete my 100th Park Run. Showing up for Park Run on (most) Saturday mornings for the last few years has been part of my healing after miscarriage, my way of thanking my body for holding me up and also giving myself some space.

I invite you to support me in this challenge by donating anything you can to help me raise £500+ which will support Matrescence Festival Exeter ‘26. This year’s festival is possible due to generous support from local charities, donations and local volunteers. But a little more is needed. Your support will directly pay m/other artists to run creative workshops for other m/others at the festival and allow us to offer some subsided and free tickets to all support m/others to attend.

Terms:

If I don’t do all of the challenge - I will refund you your donation!

If I am injured - I will reschedule to another week.

Please note that donations are non-refundable in line with my terms and conditions.

Join in:

If you would like to join me for any of the 5ks - I will be running on the following days:

  • Monday 16 March: 9.30am Haldon Forest (with coffee after!)

  • Tuesday 17 March: 1.30pm River Exe from St Thomas

  • Wednesday 18 March: 6pm River Exe from St Thomas

  • Thursday 19 March: 9.30am Exeter Quay

  • Friday 20 March: 10am M/Others Walk, Exeter Quay. Suitable for prams.

Please come and cheer me on on Saturday 21 March at Haldon Forest Park Run between 9-9.30am. I am not inviting runners to join me for this one but will be happy to see you along the way. If you join the park run you will need to register with Park Run directly.

Send me a message for meet point the day before (you can use the homepage contact form if this link doesn’t work). If you join that day I can’t guarantee I will see your request in time.

Disclaimer: If you would like to join me this is a casual drop in run, not an official event, anyone who joins are participating at your own risk. Everyone is responsible for their own safety and pace, so bring your own water, suitable footwear and gear. These runs are not suitable for children to run or walk. The walk is suitable for accompanying children will need to be in a sling or pram. I will be joined by my running buddy Michael at all runs. Please make a donation if you join and share this campaign with friends and family.

BIG THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!
