London Interfaith Fun Run

Programme Overview

We have been delivering the London Interfaith Fun Run since 2020 to bring together individuals, communities, and charitable organisations for a day of family fun, unity, and raising money for good causes.    

The Interfaith Fun Run will be returning in September 2023! Please visit the event website for updates.

Quotes from participants:

• Hagir Ahmed, the Refugees and Asylum Seekers Officer for the United Nations Association, said:

“I was inspired by the London Interfaith Fun Run as a chance for the refugees and asylum seekers to have the opportunity to participate and engage, while socialising with positive people from all religions and cultural backgrounds.”

• Phil Champain, Director of the Faith & Belief Forum, and one of the runners on the day, said:

“The London Interfaith Fun Run is a great opportunity to bring people of different faiths and beliefs together while showing our support for charities doing important work in London and beyond. After 18 difficult months with very limited social contact and many challenges, this positive event, bringing people together, is just what many of us need.”

• David Dangoor CBE, chair of Her Majesty’s Lord-Lieutenant of Greater London’s Council on Faith, said:

“We hope it will inspire many of those who form the beautiful social tapestry of our great capital city, be they young or old, whatever their ethnic group or faith, to join together in strengthening the bonds that can help make London a strong and welcoming, diverse, community.”
