Run LAYCOCK Run

Sponsored 2km Run to get active and raise money for the enrichment of children at Laycock Primary School.

Run Laycock Run is back for the 4th year. This year is bigger and better than ever!

We're challenging Laycock children and their families again to run, walk, hop or skip 2km as part of a fun run around Highbury Fields. It's going to be a fantastic day out and even more schools are joining this year so it is going to be one of the biggest family days out in Islington. This year we are raising funds for.........

Last year, thanks to everyone's hard work and generosity, we raised over £5,000 to support our school.

This has meant that FOL have been able to support many valuable opportunities to enrich and enliven our children's education.

In the past years we have supported:

1. Opal Play

• Vending Machine
• Sensory room
• Wow days

The sponsors have again agreed to match the amount raised by each school, so every £1 raised will give £2 towards the school.

Collect your number from your schools table. The warm up will start at 10.15 am.

The runs will start at 10.30, due to the volume of children taking part this year, there will be staggered starts according to age groups.

10.30am nursery, reception and year 1

10.50 am years 2, 3 and 4

11.10am years 5 and 6

All runners will receive a medal upon completion and a snack. 

We hope to see you at Highbury Fields on the 25th June!

Taking part is simple:

1. Simply register on this page to take part.

2. Send the link to your friends and family to ask them to sponsor you link will be supplied in news letter.

3. Plan how you'll do your 2km and get training!

4. On the 25th June head over to Highbury Fields for 10:00 where we will be joining over 14 other local schools to run 3 laps around the Fields. Look out for the Laycock balloons!

Alternatively if you can't make it on the day, then you can run it yourself over the weekend with your family or friends! (Some ideas of where to run are given below).

If every child in the school managed to raise £10 in sponsorship, we'd raise £4k for our school. And we'd have travelled around 420km - about as far as Paris! Imagine how far we could get if teachers, mums, dads and carers get involved too.

2km sounds a long way....

...but it's just:

o 2,600 steps on the spot

o 8 laps of Arundel Square park (the outer edge)

o 4 laps of the green around Paradise Park

o 3 laps of Highbury Fields (the lower field)

o 6 laps of Thornhill Park

o 3 laps of Market Road Park (the outer edge)

o 10 laps of Barnsbury Square

So get signed up, get training, and get sponsors now!
