On 9th August 2025, we had the privilege of teaming up with We Movin, a North-West based run club, to take part as a vendor at their inspiring charity event. The aim of the day was simple but powerful: to raise awareness and funds for Manchester Mind, a local charity dedicated to putting mental health first.
From urgent crisis support to counselling and peer groups, Manchester Mind provides vital services to people across the city. Their work makes a huge difference, and being part of this event to support them was an absolute no-brainer for us.
We arrived bright and early at Bolton Arena at 9am - only to be met with one major challenge: the wind! With a little teamwork (and some borrowed gazebo pegs, string, and creativity to keep our banners upright), we managed to get our stand set up and ready for the day.
Meanwhile, the incredible We Movin runners had already kicked things off. At 8:30am, three teams of four runners each began an impressive 9-hour relay challenge. Each team took turns running non-stop for an hour before handing over to the next. The dedication was inspiring.
Why nine hours? We Movin believe strongly in the positive impact of physical activity on mental health, and this endurance challenge perfectly embodied that message.
The day was filled with laughter, great music, and, of course - lot of running. We even joined in for a community lap around the track, which brought everyone together in the spirit of the event.
The We Movin team created something truly special. We’re incredibly grateful to have been part of such a meaningful day, and we’re already looking forward to supporting their future events.
