Royal Sutton Coldfield Town Council

We’re delighted that the Pride in Place Programme (PiPP) is sponsoring this year’s Royal Sutton Fun Run! 🎉🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

PiPP branding is sported on the number of the 6,500 runners taking part in this fantastic community event.

This year has seen a record number of people registering to participate, showing just popular the Fun Run is ! 🙌

The Royal Sutton Fun Run is much more than getting to the finish line. It’s a celebration of community spirit, friendship, fundraising, and people coming together to support amazing causes across our Town ❤️

That’s why supporting the event is such a great fit for the Pride in Place Programme (PiPP), which is all about strengthening community connections, celebrating local pride and bringing people together through shared experiences.

Come along, cheer on the runners, and soak up the fantastic atmosphere!

🎽 👟 Good luck to everyone taking part in this Sunday’s Royal Sutton Fun Run! We’ll be cheering you on every step of the way and hope you have a fantastic day.
