Jen, a 27-year-old sports enthusiast and avid tennis player, recently ran the Leicestershire Running Festival 10K to help raise funds for the Youth Sport Trust. Jen works at Inspire Together, where she is a Health and Wellbeing and Female Engagement Officer.
Inspire Together is a School Sports Partnership that operates within the Leicester City community, and its mission is to promote health and wellbeing. Through her work with Inspire Together, which uses various programmes developed by the Youth Sport Trust, Jen was inspired to support Youth Sport Trust through fundraising efforts.
Alongside five other individuals with varying levels of running experience, Jen decided to take on the Leicestershire Running Festival 10K challenge to test their limits.
The race, which took place at Prestwold Hall, left them with a shared sense of accomplishment and an eagerness to conquer more running challenges in the future.
