Harrogate's Move Run Club to host mental health fundraiser

Move Run Club in Harrogate is hosting a special event later this month.

A Harrogate running group is set to lace up their trainers later this month to raise money for a local mental health charity.

Move Run Club, which meets every Wednesday and regularly attracts around 50 runners, is taking part in a charity run on Saturday 20th September.

It's been organised by North bar Harrogate in support of The Jordan Legacy, a Harrogate-based charity focused on mental health and suicide prevention.

The run will start at North Bar Harrogate at 2pm, following a set route before returning to the bar.

Participants will also be able to enjoy food from Delice D'ivoire, a West African soul food trader, who will be serving throughout the day.

Abbey Reekie, General Manager at North Bar Harrogate, said:

“The Jordan Legacy, is an incredible local charity dedicated to mental health and suicide prevention - a vital issue that affects many individuals in our community. 

“The Jordan Legacy works tirelessly to provide support and resources for those in need, helping to create a safer and more understanding environment for everyone.”

She added:

“Runners can sign up in the bar or by messaging us on social media or even just by calling us! 

“So far our run club will be taking part, some of Jordans friends and family will be joining and we also have members of The Stray Runners taking part too - even one of our owners John is taking part too!”

The club has set a fundraising target of £500, with all proceeds going to The Jordan Legacy. 

Donations can be made via the event’s JustGiving page here.
