Industry charity FFK launches 10K run
14th February, 2018
The charity run will take place on 23 May at the Olympic Park in Stratford, London
Futures For Kids, the UK-based futures industry charity, has launched FFK 10k, a 10 km run in aid of the projects that the charity supports across the globe.
The run, which will be combined with a 5 km fun run, will be held at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford, London on 23 May.
“Over the last 10 years we have arranged a wide range of events including the popular Walk to Work,” said Patrick Thornton-Smith, a trustee of the charity.
“This has been running for the last seven years and is perhaps the most ‘active’ of our events but for our 10th anniversary we have decided to do something different for a far wider audience - the FFK 10k!”
FFK has raised almost £3m since its launch in 2008.
The charity is currently seeking sponsors for the run and offers several options to organisations interested in supporting the run. Individual runners will be asked to pay a £30 entry fee to take part in the run.
Current sponsors of the race include ION, Cinnober, RJ O’Brien, OSTC, FIA, Cult Wines, Kyte Consulting, GHF, John Lothian News and FOW.
For more information on the run and how you can support it or take part go to the FKK website.
