Taking part in the Palestine 5k run in Leicester’s Abbey Park is a meaningful physical challenge that brings people together in solidarity with the people of Palestine. While 5 kilometres may sound achievable, it still demands stamina, focus, and determination, especially for those who are new to running. Managing pace, overcoming fatigue, and pushing through discomfort make the run a genuine test, but one that participants of all abilities can take on with courage and commitment.

The struggle of each step taken is given deeper purpose through fundraising. Every effort made during the run helps support those in need in Gaza, transforming personal challenge into collective compassion. This event is open for all, encouraging runners, joggers, and walkers alike to stand together and show unity through action.

All funds raised are in support of One Nation, a registered UK charity operating on a 100% donation policy. Every pound donated goes directly towards providing essential aid and relief, ensuring that the energy and determination shown in the 5K, results in real help for vulnerable communities and meaningful support for those who need it most.
