We’re absolutely delighted to share that Fareham Running Club has been shortlisted for THREE England Athletics South East Volunteer Awards! 🎉
And we couldn’t be prouder of the people and the following projects being recognised.

🏃‍♂️ Club of the Year
A huge recognition of everything that happens across our club — the running, the volunteering, the support, the friendships and, most importantly, the community we’ve built together.

🧔 Unsung Project of the Year – Movember Project
Our Movember project was created to raise awareness of, and open conversations around, men’s mental health. Huge credit to Chris Holliday, alongside everyone who helped bring the project to life and made it such a meaningful part of our club.

❤️ Trevor Kettle – Services to Athletics & Running
And finally, a very special nomination for Trevor Kettle, recognising his incredible work as our Mental Health Champion — not only within Fareham Running Club, but also through the support and work he provides to England Athletics at a national level.

Three nominations that say so much about what makes our club special.
Running brings us together. Community keeps us together. ❤️
Good luck to everyone shortlisted, winners will be announced in October — and a massive THANK YOU to every volunteer, runner and supporter who makes Fareham Running Club what it is. 👏🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️
