Two Club members, Nathan and Alden, are powering through an incredible milestone as they continue their quest to raise £2,000 by running an astonishing 2,000 kilometres in 2024. The pair, who have committed to running 5 kilometres every single day, have now reached day 239 of their challenge, having covered an impressive 1,500 kilometres so far.
Averaging 6.5 kilometres a day, Nathan and Alden have not only maintained their daily runs, without missing a single day, but have also taken on two ultra-marathons and several half-marathons along the way. Their motivation? To support our club's ambitions to improve accessibility of our clubhouse by installing disabled access facilities.
So far, the duo has raised £1,000 and remain determined to keep up their daily 5k runs until they reach their 2000km target. They are hopeful that their tireless efforts and ongoing commitment will inspire more donations to help them achieve their goal.
"It's been tough running every single day, including the day my baby boy Eli was born but, we're committed to this challenge and are prepared to keep going until we hit our goal" said Nathan. Alden added, "Every kilometre, no matter what, brings us closer to our target, and that's what keeps us going."
The club is rallying behind Nathan and Alden as they approach the final stretch of their challenge, with many eagerly following their progress and cheering them on for the final 500km.
We’ve made it this far thanks to the generosity of our supporters and the dedication of our volunteers. Now, we need your help to take the next step. Your donation, no matter the size, will directly impact the future of our club and the community we serve and encourage Nathan and Alden to complete their 2000kms of running by Christmas Day.
Stewarts & Lloyds RFC has been a cornerstone of Corby since the 1930s, bringing people of all ages, abilities, and genders together through a shared love of rugby. Our club has always been more than just a place to play—it’s a community where everyone is welcomed and valued.
As we look to the future, we are committed to making rugby accessible to everyone in Corby. However, our outdated changing facilities are holding us back, especially when it comes to encouraging more women and girls to join the game. These facilities no longer meet the needs of our members, and without improvements, our goal of increased participation is at risk.
To change this, we are launching a major refurbishment project that will create four new en-suite changing rooms and two en-suite referees’ rooms. These upgrades are essential to provide the safety, privacy, and accessibility our diverse membership deserves. This project is about more than just improving our facilities—it’s about ensuring Stewarts & Lloyds RFC remains a place where everyone in Corby can enjoy the benefits of rugby in an environment that is truly inclusive.
Please join us in making this vision a reality where for every £10 you donate you have a chance to win a signed Courtney Lawes frames shirt. Together, we can build a more inclusive future for rugby in Corby.
