Yes, I'm running!Luton RunFest is where doing it starts.
Whether you’re aiming to get more active, try something new, or simply enjoy a buzzing festival atmosphere, this is the perfect place to begin. Join a friendly community, soak up the excitement and take on a distance that feels right — 5K, 10K or half marathon.
You set the pace. You set the goal. You take the step. Every one of them brings clean, safe water closer to a family that desperately needs it.

Across the world, families are forced to drink unsafe water every day — putting their health, dignity and future at risk. More than half of Gaza’s water supply system has been damaged, and today as many as 70% have resorted to drinking contaminated water.
At Human Appeal, we are providing sustainable water solutions to some of the world’s most vulnerable communities — from deep water wells in Bangladesh and Pakistan, to water coolers in schools across Pakistan, to desalination projects providing clean water for displaced families in Gaza.
• £64 provides 3,000 litres of clean drinking water for 14 people for an entire month.
• £150 provides clean water to displaced families in Gaza through our desalination project.
• £405 provides a school in Pakistan with a water cooler that filters, cleans and cools water.
• £880 provides a deep water well, helping transform a village of 105 people in Bangladesh.
Prophet Muhammad (saw) said: “The best charity is giving water to drink,” and he was the most generous in giving charity.
