Before the exhibition halls open and the sessions begin, kick off your Connected Britain experience with the Connected Britain 5K Run . Held the evening before the event, it’s the perfect way to get moving, clear your head, and connect with fellow attendees in a relaxed, informal setting.
Whether you’re a seasoned runner or just looking for a fun jog, everyone is welcome. Lace up, meet new people, and set the pace for two action-packed days at ExCeL.
Charity Partner:
We’re thrilled to be teaming up with our charity partner, Sue Ryder, to bring you the Connected Britain 5K Fun Run.
Sue Ryder is here to make sure everyone approaching the end of their life or living with grief can access the support they need. There is no one size fits all when it comes to how we cope and the help we need, but with our support, no one has to face dying or grief alone. We are there when it matters.
