We’re excited to announce that this year we’ll be holding a pre-registration evening on Friday, 12th June at Stotfold Football Club.

Come along between 6:30pm and 8:00pm to:

* Collect your race numbers
* Chat with us about the Stotfold Challenge and why we started it
* Learn more about the event and the community behind it
* Sign up to DKMS with a simple swab test for anyone who would like to take part

The pre-registration evening is designed to help avoid the busy rush on the morning of Sunday, 14th June.

We also wanted to answer one of our most frequently asked questions:

🌈 Do I need to complete the full 5K for the Colour Run?
No — there will be a shorter loop around the field available for younger children or anyone who would prefer not to complete the full 5K route. If you’re taking part in the Colour Run, please make sure children bring sunglasses with them.

🥘 Will there be refreshments on the day ?
Yes we have food and drink available for participants and spectators!

🧑 Can we run with our under 7s on the 1km run ?
Yes if you feel you need to - it is a contained loop of the field though!!

We’re incredibly excited for the day, and tickets are selling fast. Make sure you get yours and come along to be part of this fantastic community event!

PLEASE BEWARE

We’ve noticed that every time we post the link to our TicketSource page, people comment claiming they have spare tickets available.

Please do not engage with anyone offering tickets in the comments. Unfortunately, every case so far has been a scam.

Tickets are still available to purchase directly through our TicketSource page, and this is the only place we recommend buying from.

As this is also a charity event, if you can no longer attend, please contact us directly rather than attempting to resell your tickets.

Thank you so much for your support and understanding.

To all our Stotfold Challenge followers, we wanted to share some difficult news with you today.

Alongside continuing our fundraising efforts for DKMS, we have now also set up a GoFundMe page for Amelie. Last week, Amelie was told that her leukaemia has returned for a fifth time. This is an incredibly difficult and heartbreaking time for her, Sofia and Aiden, and we want to do everything we can to support them.

We know we have asked for your support many times before — whether through donations or by attending our events — and we are so grateful for everything you have already done. Today, we are asking once again: if you are able to spare even £5 or £10, it would mean so much and would help ease some of the pressure on a family facing an unimaginable challenge.

Please see the GoFundMe link below. If you could donate, share the page, and help us spread the word far and wide, we would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you, as always, for your kindness and support ❤️❤️❤️

Many of you are already aware of Amelie and her story. Since … Jennifer Powell needs your support for Standing With Amelie Through Her Fifth Leukaemia Fight
