Karen's 10K Run Norwich Challenge

Event date: Sunday 6th September

At 70 years young, Karen is proving that it's never too late to set yourself a new challenge.
Karen first discovered her love of running through Parkrun when she was 60. After volunteering at the Norwich 10K in 2021 and experiencing the incredible atmosphere, she was inspired to sign up and run alongside her daughter in 2022. She enjoyed the experience so much that she returned to take part again in 2023. Although she stepped away from running afterwards, Karen always said she would like to come back to complete the Norwich 10K when she turned 70, and this year she's doing exactly that. Despite a training journey disrupted by injury, illness and the occasional holiday, Karen remains determined to cross the start line and enjoy every moment. This year's event will be even more special, as Karen will be running alongside her daughter and granddaughter, making it a memorable three-generation family achievement. Her determination, resilience and enthusiasm show that age is no barrier when it comes to setting goals and embracing new adventures.
Karen has chosen to support Norwich Door to Door because she sees firsthand the difference the charity makes. As a volunteer at the hospital where Norwich Door to Door is based, she is familiar with the incredible work they do helping elderly and disabled people stay active, independent and connected to their communities.
For many people, a lack of accessible transport can lead to isolation and a loss of independence. Norwich Door to Door provides a vital lifeline, enabling people to attend medical appointments, go shopping, visit friends and family, and continue living active, fulfilling lives.
Karen's challenge is about much more than crossing a finish line. It's about celebrating determination at any age, inspiring others to stay active, and raising funds to support a charity that makes a genuine difference to local people's lives every day.
Please support Karen as she takes on her Norwich 10K challenge. Every donation, no matter the size, will help Norwich Door to Door continue providing essential services that keep older and disabled people independent, connected and engaged in their community.
Thank you for helping Karen turn every mile into support for local people who need it most. 💙🏃‍♀️🚐
