Sponsor the June 5K run to raise funds for the 1863 Club!

The 1863 Club enables boys and girls at The London Oratory state school to learn to row and compete at national level. https://1863club.co.uk/

Rowing is traditionally an exclusive, expensive sport but there is strong demand for inclusive and affordable rowing. The 1863 Club welcomes all, regardless of their financial means or sporting ability. We only ask our rowers' families to contribute financially if they can afford it, which means we rely on fundraising to continue operating.

The rowers of the Club and some of their braver parents will take part in a 5K run on Saturday 21 June 2025 in Richmond Park. Raising £15,000 will allow us to keep the club open for another school year: please give generously!
