🚶‍♂️ Join the Great Coventry Foodbankathon – Saturday, 3rd May 2025 🚶‍♀️

Last year, almost 21,000 people in Coventry needed support from foodbanks. Coventry Foodbank isn’t council-run and relies on donations from individuals, businesses, and local organisations to keep helping those who need it most.
The Foodbankathon is a 34km challenge linking all 15 foodbank centres across the city, plus The Halo Centre distribution hub. This year, we are excited to announce an addition to the route, with the team passing the Coventry Building Society Arena.

Whether you want to walk or run, you can take on the full route solo or split it up as part of a relay team. Walking the whole distance takes about 9 hours, and running can take between 2.5 to 5 hours.

There are three ways that you can help…

1. We need people to take part
   Enthusiastic and dedicated volunteers to join in some of or all of the Foodbankathon on 3rd May 2025. Click here to register for the Foodbankathon.

2. We need sponsors & donors
   Individuals, businesses and organisations to sponsor the Foodbankathon. Sponsors can give through our online sponsorship pages. Sponsors can give through our Foodbankathon sponsorship page or through individual sponsorship pages.

3. We need supporters to share the message
   If you don’t fancy taking part and aren’t able to give money, you can help by raising awareness of the Foodbankathon by telling friends, family, social media acquaintances or strangers about it. On the 3rd May 2025, you can come and encourage those taking part, or follow us online.
