Cundall Pupils Embrace Charity Fun Run to Support Local Hospitals

Blue Monday was no match for the energy and enthusiasm of Cundall Manor pupils, who braved the wintry conditions for a colourful and spirited fun run, raising funds for York and Scarborough hospitals.

Among the participants were superheroes, football stars, a T-Rex, and even a determined ‘President Trump,’ who launched his ‘Make America Great Again’ campaign by finishing the course—despite being tied to several classmates.

Every pupil, from Reception through to Year 8, took on the challenge of completing at least one kilometre, with most running 3-5km and navigating various obstacles along the way. After braving the cold, pupils were rewarded with steaming hot chocolate and freshly baked cookies at the finish line—a well-earned treat after their spirited effort.

Pupil sponsorship for the event raised £1,100 for York & Scarborough Hospitals Charity. At Cundall Manor, pupils are encouraged to contribute not just to their school but to the wider community. Events like this fun run reinforce the importance of giving back, fostering generosity, and proving that even in challenging weather, teamwork and determination can make a real difference.

We are incredibly proud of our pupils for their enthusiasm, resilience, and commitment to supporting such a worthwhile cause.
