Since 2009, East London HIV charity Positive East has organised the World AIDS Day RED RUN on the last weekend of November – just before World AIDS Day on December 1. What began with a small gathering of 50 people is now one of the UK’s biggest annual HIV community events, raising over £1.1 million for crucial support and prevention projects.
Organisers say: “The RED RUN isn’t a race – it’s a movement. This inclusive event welcomes all ages and abilities, fostering a spirit of community over competition. It’s your chance to join thousands and make a real difference to support the lives of people living with HIV.
“Wind through the scenic paths of Victoria Park alongside walkers, runners, and sashayers! As a combined 5k and 10k (chipped timed) route, the RED RUN offers a rewarding day for everyone.
“Last year, over 3,000 people participated, raising a staggering £232,000 for 30 HIV charities! Join us this year and help strengthen the UK’s response to HIV.”
