Hamilton Tennis Club Fun Run 2025

Families and fun runners traditionally flock to Hamilton Tennis Club for the event, which this year starts at 11am on Sunday August 31 with the 5km run, which is suitable for for all abilities, including ‘couch to 5k’ runners, joggers, walkers and individuals just walking their dog.

From midday onwards the club is open to all with live music, a barbecue, children's inflatables and soft play, a raffle, plus cake and tombola stalls.

So if you can’t run you can still go along for a family day out and help raise money for this year’s chosen charity, Melton Community First Responders, who are a dedicated group of volunteers who provide life-saving treatment alongside East Midlands Ambulance Service in the Melton area.

The local responders are on a fundraising mission to raise around £18,000 to renew their stock of ageing defibrillators.

All money raised will directly help these volunteers to continue their work for us in saving lives.

Last year's event saw over 100 participants in the 5K run and raised more than £3,000 for the British Heart Foundation.

Organisers are hoping the event will be just as popular this year and are encouraging people to sign up early to raise money for this vital local cause who recently received the prestigious King's Award for Voluntary Service, recognising their invaluable contribution to the community.

Every year, the fun run and family fun day gets tremendous local support in terms of donations, loaned equipment and raffle prizes and if anyone can help or provide any sponsorship large or small they are asked to get in touch.
