Movement with purpose
Team Rynkeby School Run brings students together for an active day where exercise, community, and a good cause go hand in hand.
Small steps for a big cause
Team Rynkeby School Run is a charity and fitness event for children, where students come together to run and raise funds for children with critical illnesses. The aim of the run is to combine physical activity and strong community spirit with the overarching goal of making a difference for sick children.
Community in Motion
The event is all about making a difference together. Students don't run to be first or fastest, but to contribute what they can. In this way, everyone becomes an important part of the effort, regardless of how many laps or kilometers they complete.
It's free for schools to participate. Leading up to the race day, students can arrange small micro-sponsorships with parents, grandparents, neighbors, or local businesses, who donate a set amount for each lap or kilometer the child completes.
When the whole class, school, and community come together, the School Run becomes more than just an active day in the schoolyard. It transforms into a shared experience, where children feel that they can help other children.
How the School Participates
Once the school is registered, the school's contact person will be reached out to by the local Team Rynkeby team, who will provide information and support leading up to the race day. The school will also receive materials to inform students and parents about the race, the micro-sponsorships, and the important cause the students are running for.
In the lead-up to the race, students can establish small sponsorship agreements with family, neighbors, friends, or local businesses. Sponsors promise to donate a certain amount per lap or kilometer that the student completes on race day. This makes the event tangible for the students, as they can see how their efforts contribute to making a difference.
On the day itself, students will run a route on the school grounds or in the local area. The route can be tailored to fit the school's setting, ensuring that all students can participate at their own level.
Once the race is completed, the students' laps or kilometers will be tallied so that the sponsor contributions can be calculated. Donations are processed electronically to the Team Rynkeby Foundation.
Everyone can join in
The students run at their own pace and contribute what they can, whether they complete a few laps or many.
Small sponsorships make a difference
Before the race, students can find sponsors among family, friends, or local businesses, who will donate a certain amount per lap or kilometer.
