What's On Throughout RunVEMBER…

As you know here at RunVEMBER HQ we love a good group run, down below are all the group runs we'll be doing this year.

As you can see this year we are trying to spread the word even further by visiting different places within our community, as always the more the merrier!

This year we may even be running a route every day so we can keep each other company.

We do like an event here at RunVEMBER HQ. So here is where you will find any events that will be going on throughout November. We have planned several themed fancy dress runs which we hope to see as many people participate in as possible.


Join us for a friendly group run or walk or even cycle with us. This is for anyone to attend, you can run, walk, or cycle if you want. the routes will be between 1-5 miles, depending on how YOU'RE feeling, remember this all at YOUR OWN PACE but as a group we'll all feel safer and help each other along the way!

What our RunVEMBRIANS say...

Such a brilliant cause, organised and run by our resident super hero.
My work colleagues have already started asking about it and donations have started, so no pressure for me then. Looks like I’m running.

Julie Comer

This is win win all around. Runvember gets me out and active on those dark winter days when I'd be tempted to stay inside. It makes me so grateful every time I come back home for the roof over my head and the hot water I'm lucky enough to have. Filling a box makes me think hard about what would bring comfort to someone living on the streets. There is constant support from the online Runvember community and especially from Mr. Runvember himself, who along with his family starts work long before November 1st and carries on working long after November 30th. Thank you. I'm privileged to be a Runvembrian!

Tina van Ewyk

An awesome experience set up by Hrh Alan Butler raising awareness and building community spirit. Get out my running shoes and dust them off every year. It's tough but there are all the other runvembrians cheering you on no matter how quick or slow you go or how far. #runvember #strongertogether

Jane Pilsworth

Having worked for one of the charity involved with HrH RunVEMBER Challenge I know how well it has helped not only the guys on the streets but also the teams that are trying to help them move on! The support from all the runvermberians to the homeless community of Swindon has been amazing to say the least but all this would not have happened without the Butler team, which I know, quite a few of us within the homelessness sector are so grateful for.
And as a participant I have to say I loved every bits of it - it was tough but so good for the soul!

Thank you to all involved. Xx
