Virtual Run for Fabba this January!

Saturday, 01 January 2022 – Monday, 31 January 2022
12:01 am – 11:59 am (UK time)

The Chartered Insurance Institute of Ipswich, Suffolk and North Essex would like to raise funds for a cause close our President's heart; the Fabba Theatre Group in Norfolk and Suffolk which supports individuals with learning difficulties, physical disabilities, autism and mental health needs. Fabba are a self-funded group that have limited resources for staging, costumes, and transport.


You can cover 10km however YOU want by the end of January. You can walk, run, cartwheel, skate - whatever works for you. Do it as one 10km, two 5kms or even ten 1kms. Get creative in these extraordinary circumstances.

Please note, where possible and government guidance permitting, we are planning on attending a Parkrun each Saturday during January so that anyone who would like to run with others who are taking part can do so! We plan on being at Ipswich Parkrun on the 8th of January, Colchester Highwoods Parkrun on the 15th of January, Bury Nowton Park on the 22nd of January and Stowmarket Chilton Fields on the 29th of January. We look forward to seeing you there!
