Rangers Blue All over Fun Run
Over 325 runners took part in the ‘Blue All over Fun Run’ for Charity 5km challenge at Ibrox last Saturday (31st of March), helping to raise an initial total of more than £20,000 for the Rangers Charity Foundation. Families, friends and individuals took to the route around Rangers’ pitch and stadium, whilst being covered in blue and red paint.
The ‘Blue All over Fun Run’ was organised by the Rangers Charity Foundation for the second year running, with all funds going towards the great work they are doing in the community. The Rangers Charity Foundation exists to be a force for good on behalf of the Rangers Family, showing compassion to those in need, tackling inequalities and creating opportunities for people of all ages to change their lives for the better.
Runners of all ages and abilities were able to make one lap around the famous pitch, before enjoying five loops of the stadium whilst passing paint stations teamed with volunteers and crossing the finish line in the Fan Zone. Participants, who each paid £10 to take part and underwent their own fundraising, were then rewarded with exclusive medals, certificates and goodie-bags.
Rangers Charity Foundation Director, Connal Cochrane, said: “What an incredible day! We would like to thank everyone who joined us for what is rapidly becoming one of our most popular events. From the runners to the volunteer and supporters; it’s been great to see us all make Ibrox bluer than ever, whilst helping to make a difference to people across Scotland and the globe. We hope that you’ve all enjoyed it as much as we did – see you next year!”
All runners who raise £100 or more become True Blue Heroes and are rewarded by meeting a Rangers First Team player, who will present them with an exclusive medal.
