Interfaith Fun Run is an event of togetherness, positivity, and fun for all, uniting hundreds of runners and spectators from diverse faith & belief communities.
Challenge yourself on our 5km or 10km routes or run with friends on the 1km route. All routes are strictly non-competitive, and you can take it at your own pace. You can enjoy our buzzing festival area which will feature dance and music performances from a wide range of cultures, as well as a space for reflection, meditation, and conversation. There will be a Prayer & Reflection Room on site.
The third London Interfaith Fun Run hopes to have over 75 charities part of the day
A highlight of the Interfaith Fun Run is the wide range of food available, with options from diverse cuisines, ensuring there is something exciting and new for everyone to try.
Another key feature of the day is the Charity Fair, showcasing the incredible work of all participating cross-communal charities. After two successful years, Interfaith Fun Run hopes to have over 75 charities part of the day.
The chair of His Majesty’s Lord-Lieutenant of Greater London’s Council on Faith, David Dangoor, has described the Interfaith Fun Run as “an opportunity for Londoners, whatever their ethnic group or faith, to come together and send a message of unity and friendship”.
This event is organised by The Faith & Belief Forum and Maccabi GB with the generous support of Dangoor Education, Eastern Eye, Jewish News, Jewish Volunteering Network and Voice of Islam Radio. We are also delighted to have the support of the Greater London Lieutenancy’s Council of Faith.

Man pleads not guilty to murder of BBC presenter's family
A 26-year-old man has pleaded not guilty to charges of murdering the wife and two daughters of BBC sports commentator John Hunt in a crossbow and knife attack.
Kyle Clifford, who also faces charges of rape, appeared via video link at Cambridge Crown Court on Thursday.
Clifford, arrested in July after a manhunt, is charged with three counts of murder, one count each of rape and false imprisonment, and two counts of possessing offensive weapons – a 10-inch knife and a crossbow.
During the hearing, Clifford denied all the charges except for the rape charge, which was added to the indictment at the session.
He is expected to enter a plea for that charge at a later date.
The victims were Carol Hunt, 61, wife of horseracing commentator John Hunt, and their daughters Louise, 25, and Hannah, 28.
An earlier hearing revealed that Louise had been found tied up and that both she and her sister had been shot with a crossbow, while their mother had been stabbed with a knife.
The fatal attack occurred at the family’s home in Bushey, a commuter town near Watford, northwest of London.
