JustRun Manchester Campaign

Throughout the month of July Manchester Road Runners are asking for its members, and those of other local clubs, to donate their old or unrequired running gear to our Just Run Campaign. The campaign aims to collect unwanted running gear and through our local homeless charity partnerships, donate the clothing to those less fortunate than us in the hope that we can give them access to the simple, low cost sport which we ourselves are so passionate about. Research has shown that there is a strong link between physical and mental health, therefore positive physical health can help promote positive mental health. With the right gear, there are no barriers to when, how often or how far someone can run. We want to encourage everyone to get out there, escape from their busy minds or stressful lives and Just Run. The Manchester Road Runner Collection Point will be at the Wharf pub, every Wednesday throughout July! Please hand any donations to our lovely committee members. We all have way too many extra t-shirts, shorts we didn’t know we had and far too many trainers that are just taking up space in our drawers, so it is time to put this forgotten clothing to good use! We hope you can support us for this fantastic cause! #JustRunManchester
