Everton in the Community’s ‘If You Know Your History’ 5k fun run will be hosted on Sunday 10 October 2021, and will mark an eagerly anticipated return of the charity’s in-person running events.
In partnership with race organisers BTR Liverpool, Everton in the Community will be hosting its third Everton-themed 5k fun run where supporters will come together to run, jog or walk an iconic route of Everton’s history - beginning at the heart of Everton’s badge, Prince Rupert’s Tower, and finishing inside our spiritual home, Goodison Park.
As well as a cause for celebration, the event will also provide supporters the chance to reflect on events from the last 18 months. Whether that’s poignantly remembering the Blues we’ve lost since the start of the pandemic, to reminding ourselves of the toll the pandemic has made on our communities, none more so than our mental health, the cause which the fun run is raising funds for through The People’s Place campaign.
The People’s Place project is Everton in the Community’s fundraising campaign to build and develop a purpose-built mental health facility in L4 which will promote positive mental health and deliver support relating to suicide awareness and prevention. All funds raised from the event will be channelled into making the facility a reality.
There’s no stopping point to where in the world you can take part in this year’s If You Know Your History fun run, with Evertonians from across the globe able to take part in their very own IYKYH 5k route. You may not be with us in person, but you'll still be there in spirit as you'll receive your medal and shirt in the post for taking part.
