🏃♂️🏃♀️ WHAT A DAY. WHAT A TEAM. WHAT A COMMUNITY. ❤️
A huge congratulations to everyone who took part in The Big Half 2026 this weekend!
We are incredibly proud that around 100 runners represented Moving Moi CIC, coming together not just to complete 13.1 miles, but to represent community, health, wellbeing, unity and something much bigger than ourselves.
And what a tough day it was! ☀️🔥
The heat made conditions far more challenging than many had expected, so whether you smashed a PB, missed your target, paced a friend, volunteered, walked sections, ran purely for enjoyment or simply battled your way to that finish line — be proud of yourself.
A finish time never tells the full story.
It doesn’t show the early mornings. The training runs. The sacrifices. The injuries and setbacks. The fundraising. The nerves. Or the determination it took to keep moving when things got difficult.
For us, events like The Big Half are about so much more than chasing times.
They are about community.
Catching up with friends. Meeting new people. Supporting one another. Seeing families cheering from the sidelines. Proudly representing our communities and Muslims within mass participation sport. And showing the next generation that we belong in these spaces too.
Seeing almost 100 Moving Moi runners out there was something truly special.
Every runner who wore the shirt, shared the message, raised funds, encouraged somebody else or simply showed up helped strengthen the movement we are building.
A special thank you also to everyone who supported behind the scenes, volunteered, fundraised, cheered and helped our runners reach the start line.
Together with World Care Foundation and Forward Fitness, we showed exactly what can happen when communities come together with a shared purpose.
To every runner:
Recover well. Hydrate. Rest those legs. Wear that medal proudly. And remember — you did something incredible. 🏅
Well done, superstars. ❤️
