New Years Eve Run/Walk is Going Digital in 2020
Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic and the predicted hardening of the current COVID-19 regulations, we have taken the difficult decision to cancel the 9th running of the New Years Eve 10K Run / 5K Walk.
The run has become a bit of a tradition with many of the runners / walkers who attend, (one of whom has attended all 8 previous runs and many have attended at least 6.) and it is also an important fundraising event for Music at St John's having raised close to £10,000 since its first running in 2012. Therefore we have taken the decision to host a virtual event for 2020.

What does that mean?
- We are asking people to take the time to go out for a run / walk on New Year’s Eve (the distance is not important)
- We would like people to share a picture /short video of them running onto the 2020 New Years Eve Virtual Run/Walk Facebook Event Page which will be launched in Mid November.
- We would then ask that people make a donation of £5 or £10 (or whatever you can afford) to Music at St John's via the Just Giving Page. Details of the Just Giving page will be available on the Music @ St John's Face book Page, or on the 2020 New Years Eve Virtual Run/Walk Facebook Event Page following this link:- https://justgiving.com/campaign/MASJ-RUN-or-WALK
Our goal is to get a minimum of 200 people to take part in the event and raise at least £1,500 for Music at St John’s to continue their work which includes giving financial support to young local musicians
