Royal Sutton Fun Run Presentation Evening 2025

Last week saw the annual presentation evening for the Royal Sutton Fun Run

Participants in this year’s 42nd Royal Sutton Fun Run have chosen 154 charities and voluntary organisations to benefit from the £285,570 they have raised in 2025. The fourth highest total on record since the event began in 1982.

Event Director, Tracey Spare said: “Fun Run participants have raised another staggering sum of money for their chosen charities & voluntary organisations, which is particularly pleasing when you consider the challenging domestic financial challenges.

The total raised and distributed since the first Royal Sutton Fun Run in 1982 has now reached over £5.68million.
