The Dumble Bimble

The annual Dumble Bimble  charity fun runs are named in memory of Club members Alan and Andrew Dumble, with all monies raised going to Weldmar Hospice in their memory. Alan was an original club member when the club was formed. Why the Name? Alan always use to say to his wife Jan when he was going for a run “I’m just going out for a bimble”. Invariably when you hear other runners chatting about the race it will be referred to as the-Dimble Bimble, Dimble Dumble or any other such combination, those who knew Alan’s sense of humor say he would have loved this!

The race takes place on a Tuesday night early in September and is always well supported by local runners and clubs, it is a great family event with kids and adults of all ages and abilities taking part.  2K ish fun run, jog or walk and the 5K ish  event. Entry is on the night.

With your help, we can continue to support Weldmar in such challenging times, whilst having a great time doing the event, not forgetting that amazing sense of achievement you will experience as you cross that virtual finish line.
