Story

Raise vital funds to help Switch Up and the Nottingham School of Boxing!

We've joined forces with the Fury team and their clothing brand Fury DNA to motivate the people of Nottingham to come out and support the city's youngsters at our fun run around the spectacular Regatta Lake at Holme Pierrepont Country Park.

Your fundraising will help Switch Up continue to support young people in Nottingham who are dealing with complex issues, including negative mental health. Following the pandemic, the NHS is exhausted and at capacity, making organisations like Switch Up all the more important, especially for those who might fall between the cracks of government funding initiatives. We need your support to continue our work.

To take part, please register first. Then by raising at least £20 on Justgiving you'll be able to:

* Run 5k around the amazing Regatta Lake

* Attend a community event, in a stunning location, complete with music, celebrity interviews, boxing demonstrations and more

* Compete with friends, colleagues or simply set yourself a healthy challenge

* Support the work of Switch Up and the Nottingham School of Boxing, which are on the frontline of saving the lives of young people in Nottingham as well as preventing criminality and getting them into work

Timetable for the big day:

10am - free bag storage opens, boxing demonstrations in the ring onsite

10.30am - appearance from John Fury

11am - race begins, competitive runners go first

12pm - prizes for the fastest companies and runners are given out

12.15pm - live music, sparring, boxing classes and celebrity appearances going on all afternoon

Food, drink and licenced bar all onsite all day.

About the charity

We provide individual, life changing support to young people in communities affected by crime and violence. Through sport, mentoring and personal development, we improve their mental and physical wellbeing to give them the skills, confidence and motivation to realise their true potential.
