Where did it all start?

The Running Bee Foundation has been set up in memory of a true Salfordian, Mo Done, who supported many Manchester charities and played an integral part in the development of our parent company, tour operator Sports Tours International, the founder and supporter of the Foundation.

ALL the profits from The Running Bee Foundation’s events are invested back into the communities where those events take place. The Running Bee Foundation aims to improve the health and wellbeing of local residents and to help tackle the challenge of childhood obesity. It does this by making grants available to community groups and local charities in the towns and cities where our events take place. So get involved, enter our races and help those charities and good causes in YOUR area.
