Autumn Charity Fun Run & Walk is organised by Lanarkshire Polish Community Group as part of the Polish Voice in Lanarkshire project, with support from M&F CIC and funding from the National Lottery Community Fund. The free community event takes place at Motherwell Shopping Centre, welcoming families, runners and walkers for an informal evening of physical activity.
The programme includes a 1K Family Fun Run & Walk and a 5K event, with participants following pedestrian walkways associated with the shopping centre. The organiser describes the longer distance as a cross country fun run, although the precise route and surfaces have not been confirmed. Both distances are intended to be accessible to participants of different abilities, with walking encouraged alongside running.
Autumn themed clothing is welcomed, while reflective and illuminated accessories are encouraged to improve visibility during the evening. Every participant receives a commemorative medal, with the emphasis on community involvement rather than competitive racing.
