🌟 Pocklington Fire Station This Thursday 🍂🌟

This week, we're doing something a little special as we go the distance for BBC Children in Need 💛

Our challenge is simple: we're combining every single mile covered by every single member to see how many times we can reach the magic 26.2-mile marathon distance. Every mile counts, whether you run 1 mile, walk 3 miles, or tackle a longer route.

Which means this week is the perfect excuse to come along and get involved... and even better, bring a friend, family member or colleague with you! The more people taking part, the more miles we can clock up and the more money we can raise for a fantastic cause.

📍 Pocklington Fire Station
🕖 Meet at 6.45pm for a 7.00pm start
👥 Open to men and women aged 16+
🔦🦺 Please remember to bring your hi-vis and a head torch or chest torch so you are visible in the dark (we have some spares available to borrow).

🏃 Running groups from 1–6 miles
🚶 Friendly walking group
💛 A welcoming, inclusive community

At Fitmums And Friends, there's no pressure to keep up. Our shepherding system means we stay together as a group, so nobody gets left behind. It's all about enjoying being active, building confidence, making friends, and supporting one another along the way.

🍁 If you've been thinking about joining a club, getting active, or meeting new people, this is a great week to give us a try. Every mile you cover will help us make a difference.

💛 Donations to BBC Children In Need can be made at the session or by clicking the fundraising link here: https://run.bbcchildreninneed.co.uk/fundraising/fitmums-and-friends

We're going the distance for Children in Need! 💛🟡

In the week commencing 9th November, Fitmums and Friends clubs are coming together to collectively run marathon distances, combining every single mile from every single member to hit the magic 26.2 as many times as possible!

And it's not just the adults, our Junior club are getting involved too, smashing out shuttle runs to complete their own marathon distance. How brilliant is that?! 🌟

Every mile counts. Which means this is the PERFECT excuse to come along, or bring a friend or family member along to a session this week. The more the merrier!

We'll be collecting donations throughout the week, with every penny going directly to Children in Need.

Come along, bring someone new, run (or walk!) your miles and help us make a difference. 💛

Donations can be made here or at a session: https://run.bbcchildreninneed.co.uk/fundraising/fitmums-and-friends
