Tommy’s 2012 baby races come to an end…

We joined forces with Tommy’s again this year to host 10 baby races and last weekend we had the final race which marked the end of a hugely successful fundraising campaign by Tommy’s and buggyfit.

We have just heard from Tommy’s that as of this morning (27.09.12) the total raised by all entrants stands at a fantastic £70,000. This amazing figure is more than double last years total figure and is thanks to all of the 664 people who registered and took part in the races.

Well done to all the buggyfit trainers who worked closely with Tommy’s to organise and host the amazing 10 races around the UK – well done all its a great achievement and for a fantastic cause.

A picture that we think captures the baby races this year...

About the baby races

Organised in partnership with the pre and post-natal fitness experts, Buggyfit, these are a series of 8K events for you to run or power walk with your baby in their buggy. The routes all follow paths perfect for buggies in beautiful parks. There’s an aerobic warm up to start, children’s entertainment and a bumper goody bag when you cross the finish line. You don’t even need a baby or a buggy to take part, the whole family can join in, whether walking or running and older children can cycle or scoot.
Entry is £14.50 per adult and includes a free t-shirt. We ask that you try and raise £50 in sponsorship using the online fundraising page created when you register.

Every penny you raise will go towards Tommy’s research and information programmes, which aim to prevent premature birth, stillbirth and miscarriage. For more information and to sign up please visit http://www.tommys.org/babyrace.
