First Ever Dual Finish at Trick or Treat Run London in Richmond Park

Posted on by

First ever dual finish at Trick or Treat Run London in Richmond ParkFor the first time this Halloween runners will be faced with a decision when they reach the finish line – Trick or Treat? The brand new Trick or Treat Run London arrives in Richmond Park on Sunday 1 November and offers the rare opportunity to run 2k, 5k or 10k on the closed roads of this stunning royal park. Once runners have finished their chosen distance they will be faced with a unique decision, to either go down the Trick finish for a spooky surprise, or to play it safe and head in the opposite direction for a treat.

Richmond Park is famous for its stunning views and wandering deer, close to London but seemingly a different world from the bustling capital, there are few more picturesque and pleasant places in the country to run. Runners of all abilities are encouraged to take part, and the event is nicely timed to encourage running into the winter season. As well as their trick or treat everybody who crosses the line will receive a special medal to commemorate the day, which can be transformed into a badge and attached to clothing or bags.

“We have been putting on events for over 25 years but as far as we know this is the first dual run finish in the world” said Nick Rusling from organisers Human Race Events. “It’s a privilege to have this very special park available and free from traffic for the first ever Trick or Treat Run. I know many will use this as an opportunity to clock up a great 10k time”.

If you would rather stay safe in numbers at this Halloween run you can sign up as a group and run any of the three routes together. Teams of five or more can enter and receive a 20% discount off the usual entry price. Fancy dress is encouraged so runners can get creative with their outfits.

Alongside fitness, fun and fancy dress will also be fundraising. Breast Cancer Care are the official charity partner of the Trick or Treat Run, with all participants encouraged to raise money which will go towards providing vital support services for anyone affected by breast cancer. There is no minimum fundraising target and it’s easy to set up a Just Giving online donation page when registering for the event.

Places in the inaugural Trick or Treat Run London are now available through www.trickortreatrun.co.uk . Sign up now and commit to keep your running going beyond the summer.

Rihanna and Katy Perry spotted having a secret tea party on the tube.

Today, new, spoof paparazzi shots, from famous celebrity lookalike photographer Alison Jackson, have emerged showing Katy Perry and Rihanna enjoying a secret tea party together in London. The duo posed as part of Breast Cancer Care’s summer fundraising campaign Strawberry Tea.

The pop princesses and best friends snuck away from the demands of their hectic touring schedules to relax and savour the good things in life – British strawberries, cupcakes, a pot of tea and a good catch up. Spotted first in the sunshine on Clapham Common, they were also caught on the tube (we all know Rihanna loves the London underground!), and taking a leisurely ride in one of London’s famous black cabs. The girls certainly know how to make chari-tea fun!

Breast Cancer Care’s Strawberry Tea campaign, sponsored by Seasonal Berries, runs from 1 June to 31 August. It is a great way to raise money to help Breast Cancer Care support the 50,000 people diagnosed with breast cancer every year in the UK.

Hold a Strawberry Tea just like Katy and Rihanna. Gather friends or family, buy some British strawberries, pop on the kettle and ask everyone for a small donation. Where will you hold your Strawberry Tea this summer?

Register now for a free Strawberry Tea fundraising pack full of ideas and tips. Visit www.breastcancercare.org.uk/strawberry or call 0870 164 9422.
