We have received a generous £500 donation from Lichfield Running Club, offered in appreciation for our support at last year’s Lichfield 10k.
Our volunteers staff the event’s water station each year, keeping hundreds of runners hydrated as they tackle the popular route through the district and villages.
The cheque was presented to representatives from LHCRT’s events team, green and grounds team and Duke of Edinburgh volunteers, and the contribution will support our ongoing restoration work.
Christine Howles, LHCRT Communications and Marketing Trustee, said:
“Being part of the Lichfield 10k is always a great morning for our events team volunteers. We’ve helped out each year for more than twenty years, when the 10k route crossed the line of the Lichfield Canal at Darnford Lane. Ever since then we’ve been proud to play a small part in such a well-loved local event, and this donation will go straight back into the restoration work that means so much to our community.”
Joy Atkin from Lichfield Running Club, said:
“Lichfield Running Club is proud to have delivered another fantastic community event and to have Lichfield & Hatherton Canals Restoration Trust as one of our valued charity partners. Their support over the years has been incredible, and the friendly, encouraging water station team is always a highlight for runners.
“We look forward to welcoming them back on 13 September 2026 for this year’s Lichfield 10k & Fun Run. Entries are now open and it’s set to be bigger and better than ever!”
