Some of you will know us from our 48 hour charity run in Oct/Nov 25 for the mental health foundation. We felt a sense of community we didn’t know we could create during the event. We have a community at Gates’ that is a literal dream, but this was a different kind of community.
Me and my dad have ran all our lives. He taught me that no matter what happened in my life running would be there to carry me through it. I never really saw running as a community sport until the 48 hour run, but when the alarm went off at 1am and it was dark and cold I knew that people were waiting for us to show up, and that was everything.
Between us we have 60 years running experience. We both know running isn’t about stats or distance or anything quantifiable at all. It’s a feeling. A feeling of belonging, a feeling of freedom, a feeling of a weight being lifted, and a feeling of community.
Let’s build one together🫶🏻
