Big C fundraising events this autumn
Now that we’ve reached October and autumn feels like it’s arrived, it’s time to look ahead to the exciting events Big C has coming up in the lead up to Christmas!
Ever fancied trying a half marathon? We have a couple coming up before the end of the year and would love for you to consider running for us!
Sunday 19 October will see hundreds of runners take to the streets of Aylsham and the surrounding North Norfolk countryside at the annual Autumn Blickling Half Marathon.
This is always a sell out event with stunning views and wonderful crowds of supporters so sign up now to have your chance at taking on this beautiful road race and earn your bespoke medal!
On Sunday 23 November Big C will be making its return to the iconic Norwich Half Marathon.
Starting and finishing within the Norfolk Showground, the half marathon route takes runners along closed roads through the countryside in the heart of beautiful Norfolk.
Big C has a limited number of free charity places left so get in touch now to get your spot!
Our festive season starts on Wednesday 4 December at the stunning St Peter Mancroft Church in Norwich where we are inviting everyone to come together for our annual Remember in December service. This will be a special evening of reflection and an opportunity to remember anyone close to us who has been affected by cancer, or those no longer with us.
You don’t need to book, but we would advise arriving early to ensure you get a seat, enjoy a warming festive glass (non-alcoholic) and a mince pie as you browse the annual Tree Festival, pick up some Christmas gifts on the Big C stall, and stock up on Christmas cards at the Original Norwich Christmas Card Shop.
On Saturday 6 December we’ll be spreading some festive joy to all the shoppers in Castle Quarter.
Four local choirs will come together for the Big C Christmas Choir event on the ground floor of Castle Quarter to perform all your Christmas favourites between 10am and 2pm so why not take a well-earned break from the shopping and have a listen!
The festive fun concludes with Big C’s very popular Jingle Jangle Fun Run in the beautiful Thetford Forest. This is the perfect event to get all your friends and family together for some festive outdoors fun!
You will have the choice of 2.5k or 5k and as this is a fun run there isn’t even any pressure to run; you can walk, hop, skip or jump your way to the finish line!
All participants will be given jingle bell wrist bands to create that wonderful sound of Santa’s Sleigh making its way through the forest! Jingle Jangle is bound to get you in that fun, festive mood so grab your trainers, dig out those Santa hats and Christmas jumpers and sign up to join us!
We hope you’re able to come and support Big C over the coming months at one of our fantastic events, or you can always hold your own event with friends and family. Just head to our Get Involved page to find out how to get started.
