The clock is ticking in the run up to the third sporting event organised by the Faith & Belief Forum and Maccabi GB.
Media partnered with Jewish News, the London Interfaith Fun Run takes place this Sunday 3 September at the StoneX Stadium in north London.
The annual event sees hundreds of runners and spectators from diverse faith and belief communities come together.
Thirty seven charities have signed up, alongside performances from around the world with the Israeli Dance Company, a Sufi ensemble, Kundalini yoga music, the London International Gospel Choir and a Kirtan mantra music meditation.
There will be a range of 5 different food trucks on site with different cuisines, mindfulness sessions delivered by the Mindfulness Network for People of Colour, an inflatables zone, arts and crafts.
The event is organised by The Faith & Belief Forum and Maccabi GB, with the support of Dangoor Education. Eastern Eye, Jewish News, Jewish Volunteering Network, Voice of Islam Radio and the Greater London Lieutenancy’s Council of Faith are also partners.
Participants can challenge themselves to a non-competitive 5km or 10km route, or run with friends on the 1km route.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
