Ipswich Building Society invites local charities to apply to become official charity partner of its Twilight 10k Road Race event in 2019

Charity partnership applications are once again open for the annual Twilight 10k Road Races in Ipswich on Friday 26th July 2019, which is being held for the fifth year in a row in association with Ipswich Building Society, Ipswich Jaffa Running Club and Ipswich Borough Council.

To qualify, charities must operate solely or principally in the Ipswich and Suffolk areas and promote, encourage or facilitate physical activity and wellbeing.

The 10k race is a mass participation run to beat the sunset, open to runners of all levels and abilities. The Twilight Road Races enjoyed a successful launch in 2015, when almost 1,000 people took to the start line. Successive years have seen levels of participation continue to rise, with 2018 the most popular race to date with over 1,500 runners signing up.

The selected Twilight 10k Road Races 2019 charity partner will receive:

  • Sole charity partner status of the races
  • 10 complimentary places for fundraising runners
  • A press release and photo opportunity announcing the partnership
  • 4 banner spaces at the finish line / race plaza
  • A charity partner stand at the race plaza
  • Event website and social media coverage

Commenting on the charity partnership, Ipswich Building Society CEO, Richard Norrington said “We are delighted to invite charities to apply to be the official race charity partner for next year’s 10k race and benefit from this popular event, which has become an annual fixture among the Suffolk running community. The selected charity will be able to fundraise through their allocation of free places and also raise awareness of their work in the community.”

Charities who wish to apply for the Twilight 10k Road Race 2019 charity partnership can submit their application to [email protected] and explain why they would like to be chosen. Applications close on Saturday 9th February. Entries for the 10k race open on 1 January, with the first 1,000 entrants entitled to a FREE official race t-shirt sponsored by Ensors.
