Become a Ribbon Run Champion

A Ribbon Run Champion is someone who would like to organise their own 5km Ribbon Run in their local area which others can join in. This 5km route could take place anywhere you like, perhaps in your local park or event at your nearest parkrun. 

A Ribbon Run Champion will:

  • plan a Ribbon Run in their local area and invite others to join
  • confirm a location and time for their local Ribbon Run
  • promote their event locally where they can
  • have support from our team if they want to do local press  
  • welcome anyone to their local Ribbon Run, you could have 5, 10 or more people join you
