small park, BIG RUN is your chance to enter a 24 hour group challenge to run to raise funds and awareness for Palestine.
It is taking place in Meersbrook Park, Sheffield on 10-11 June 2017
Unlike us, Palestinians do not enjoy freedom of movement. The daily challenges they face are a test of endurance. Journeys we take for granted, like going to school or work, visiting friends or family or trips to hospital can be much more demanding or even impossible for Palestinians faced with the ever-changing restrictions on movement imposed by the Israeli security forces.
small park BIG RUN run will draw attention to the situation and raise funds for two Palestinian projects: 1.<A STYLE="text-decoration: none;" HREF="http://www.sheffieldpsc.org.uk/?page_id=48" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> Children's play and education projects in Gaza</A> and 2.<A STYLE="text-decoration: none;" HREF="http://www.sheffieldpsc.org.uk/?page_id=157" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> University education for Palestinian women</A>.
We will run continuous circuits of Meersbrook park over 24 hours, as one team, with at least two people on the course at all times. No-one has to run for 24 hours... unless they want to! People can run for as little as 30 minutes. Meersbrook Park is a well contained, hilly course. One circuit is roughly one kilometre.

1.  REGISTERING FOR THE EVENT
How do i choose when i would like to run?
We have split the 24 hour into four blocks - Saturday afternoon, Saturday evening, night time, and Sunday morning.
There are four questions relating to each of these blocks: you can choose time slots in these blocks (as many or as few as you would like) that you would like to run in. If you are not able to run during that time period there is an option to say this.
We will do our best to make sure you have the time you have chosen however, in order to ensure that we meet our challenge and get the best possible distribution of runners over the 24 hours, we may ask you to move to another time.
