Registration opens for the third London Interfaith Fun Run
Jewish News media partnering with faith community sporting event on Sunday 3rd September
The third sporting event organised by the Faith & Belief Forum and Maccabi GB takes place on Sunday 3 September at the StoneX Stadium in north London.
The annual London Interfaith Fun Run sees hundreds of runners and spectators from diverse faith and belief communities come together.
The event is organised by The Faith & Belief Forum and Maccabi GB, with the support of Dangoor Education, Eastern Eye, Jewish News, Jewish Volunteering Network, Voice of Islam Radio and the Greater London Lieutenancy’s Council of Faith.
Participants can challenge themselves to a non-competitive 5km or 10km route, or run with friends on the 1km route.
The day will feature a festival area with food, dance and music performances from a wide range of cultures. A Charity Fair will showcase the work of more than 75 participating cross-communal organisations.
The chair of His Majesty’s Lord-Lieutenant of Greater London’s Council on Faith, David Dangoor, has described the Interfaith Fun Run as “an opportunity for Londoners, whatever their ethnic group or faith, to come together and send a message of unity and friendship”.
Ella Garai-Ebner, Assistant Events Manager at Maccabi GB said: “We are so excited for communities to come together for the third annual London Interfaith Fun Run. We look forward to welcoming you for a day of celebrating diversity and understanding. See you there!”
Louise Pyne-Jones, Head of Programmes and Policy at F&BF, said: “The Fun Run brings community together, while showing the power of sport to break down barriers and boundaries in society”.
The event is free to attend for spectators, with a small admin fee for runners.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
