The 7th Annual Run for Bradford (BWG), organized by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at, took place May 13, starting and finishing in the parkette between the Bradford Library and the Leisure Centre.
“This time, the big thing is we have reached a wider community, with a good response from local people and businesses,” said Saleem Akhtar, Executive Director of World Media Forum Institute, and Chair of the Run. The Run raises funds for Recreation, Culture, Heritage and Health projects in BWG – and thanks to community support, as well as ongoing support from “all three levels of government,” Akhtar said, “the target of $25,000 has been met.”
Approximately 100 runners and walkers came out to participate in a 3K Run or 1K Walk, but Akhtar suggested that next year's Run for Bradford will be even bigger.
