Teddington School Sports Week Run Challenge 2026

Running 537km for Vineyard Community & Richmond Foodbank

As part of their annual Sports Week, students and staff at Teddington School are taking on an exciting fundraising challenge in support of Vineyard Community & Richmond Foodbank.

On Friday 10 July, this wonderful school community will come together with one ambitious goal: to run the incredible distance from Teddington to Richmond upon Thames' twin town of Fontainebleau, just south of Paris. That's a remarkable 537 kilometres in a single day!

Throughout the challenge, students and staff will work as a team, with every lap, stride and kilometre contributing towards our collective target. The event is about much more than running. It is a celebration of teamwork, determination, resilience and community spirit.

Most importantly, we are raising money for Vineyard Community & Richmond Foodbank, whose work provides vital support to local individuals and families experiencing hardship. Every donation will help fund essential food supplies, practical support and services that make a real difference to people in our local community when they need it most, providing help in crisis and hope for life.

Whether you are a parent, carer, family member, friend, former student or supporter of the school, your contribution will help motivate our runners and support an incredibly worthwhile cause.

Please donate whatever you can and help us turn every kilometre into meaningful support for local people in need.

Thank you for supporting our challenge and helping us make a lasting difference in our community. Together, we can go the distance. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️💙
