Butterfly Run 2023

It’s Time to fly!

Cure EB’s Butterfly Run is a celebration of inclusivity taking place at the Olympic Park in London on Sunday 24th September 2023.

We are encouraging as many people of all abilities to run, walk, wheel, or whatever you can do to complete a 1k, 5k or 10k race.

Advance booking for the Butterfly Run has now closed.

However, a few tickets will be available on the day, priced at

  • 10k – £25
  • 5k adult (age 13 & older) – £20
  • 5k child (age 12 & under) – £15
  • 1k fun run – £10

If you would like to join us, registration opens at 9.30am outside the Timber Lodge Café in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park (1A Honor Lea Avenue, London, E20 1DY – view map).

 

Race details

The 10k race is open to anyone age 13 and over; the 5k and 1k are open to all ages.

Entry for the 1k fun run is per race number only; so if you are only running alongside your child to support them, you do not need to buy an additional entry.

All entrants will receive a Butterfly Run race t-shirt, race number, and finisher medal.

Races are time-chipped so it’s perfect if you’re aiming for your PB, but it’s also a great atmosphere if you just want a great run with your family or friends. Book your place now!

Timings

Registration opens at 9.30am at Timber Lodge, E20 1DY – please make sure you register and collect your Butterfly Run race pack when you arrive at the venue.

Our first race is the 1k Fun Run, setting off at 10.30am.

The 5k and 10k runs start together at 11am, with the 10K completing two laps of the course.

There will also be a free 100m dash for the kids, after the 1k has finished, but before the 5k and 10k runs start. No registration is required for this – just listen out for the announcements on the PA system if your child would like to take part in this.

Prize giving will be after all races are complete.

I loved this race since the first moment I arrived there. The atmosphere was incredible and I was so grateful to have the chance to run for this charity. I can't wait to do it again!
