Remembrance Run - Sunday 8th November 2026 - Ferry Meadows
🌹 REMEMBRANCE RUN 2026 — Ferry Meadows
Thanks to all that came along today and took part in this event. At 11 o'clock, the whole park fell still. Runners stopped mid-stride, walkers and families across Ferry Meadows paused with us, and the Last Post sounded on the bugle across the water. Two minutes of silence, shared by everyone there. We will remember them. 🌹
Then, together, we carried on running.
By the numbers:
🏅 172 runners across 10 distances
👟 2,437 miles covered between you — every lap earned
🎖️ Today's medal? A poppy, worn with pride
🧍 5k 21 · 10k 50 · 15k 3 · Half 37 · Heavy Half 11 · 6 Laps 5 · Full 36 · Ultra 2 · 10 Laps 6 · 11 Laps 1
⚡ A new course record on the day — a brilliant new Ladies' 5k best of 22:49. 👏
🎉 And a huge milestone: Bob Fuller completed his 100th marathon with us. One hundred. What an extraordinary journey — and we're so proud it crossed the line on a day like today.
2,437 miles covered between you — every lap earned - to put that into perspective:
That's the length of Britain nearly three times over — Land's End to John o'Groats, there and back, and almost all the way again🌍
Or Ferry Meadows to Rome… and back🗽 Just about the width of the USA, coast to coast
Every one of those miles was run lap by lap, 5k to ultra, with everyone starting together and everyone finishing a winner. Thank you for sharing the day, the distance and the two-minute silence with us. 🌹
Every finisher got their medal, a slice of cake and a warm welcome at the line. Thank you to everyone who ran, remembered, marshalled and cheered.
Lest we forget. 🌹
Flying Feet Forever 🌈
