Running… Because Sitting at My Desk Isn’t Enough! 🏃‍♂️💨

Hey everyone, I’m Connor from the Cheltenham Festivals team and I’ve signed up to tackle the Tewkesbury Half Marathon ‼️

I’m running to support Cheltenham Festivals’ amazing work: inspiring young people through music, literature, science and the arts – helping children discover their passion and creativity.

Every donation counts and brings us closer to giving even more kids the chance to experience the magic of the Festivals. No matter the amount, your support makes a difference.

Why I’m Running and Why Your Support Matters

Cheltenham Festivals isn’t just about world-class music, literature, jazz and science events – it’s about inspiring the next generation. Through our year-round learning and outreach programmes, we give children and young people the chance to discover their passions, build confidence and experience the joy of creativity.

For some kids, these opportunities might be their first encounter with music, a live performance, or a story that sparks imagination. Your support helps us reach more children, nurture their talents, and give them experiences that can truly change their lives.

By donating, you’re not just helping me run 13.1 miles – you’re helping us make culture accessible, inspiring and unforgettable for the young people of Gloucestershire and beyond.

Every step I take is for them and every pound you give makes a real difference.

Cheer me on (and donate if you can!) 🙌
