Story

Pass Go for GRIT is Hitchin's first ever self-guided fun run; good vibes, great cause and plenty of sweat!

Race across Hitchin visiting participating local organisations and in each window or just outside you’ll find one or more hidden letters. Collect them all and rearrange them to reveal a mystery sentence.

The first person to return with the correct sentence in the fastest time wins.

Along the way you’ll discover amazing local businesses, explore the town and take part in a fun community challenge raising money for Growing Resilience in Teens (GRIT) - a local charity who support young people with their mental health and wellbeing through coaching and non contact boxing.

It costs £3,850 to run our flagship GRIT programme for up to 14 young people and on average £360 to support one young person.

This is their fight. Let's race to help them win.

We are so grateful for any and all donations, and as this event is in collaboration with our charity partners, Helping Herts, who are very kindly match funding ticket sales, sponsorship and fundraising efforts for this event meaning that every pound raised is doubled.
