Thanks ,
Done well over 50 races and yours is my favourite . The brass
momento, lovely village atmosphere, and beautiful scenery make
it very special. This was my second time, I only wish I had discovered
this event years ago.
Well done and thanks again

Hi Mike,
Thank you for doing this, very much appreciated. I did enjoy
the race, although the heavy rain made the course muddy and wet.
It was good practice for the Birmingham Half Marathon (with hills)
and will definitely be participating in the next race and other
organised races in the near future.
Regards
Vimal Patel

Thank
you to all those who helped with this year's race...
Once
again, thanks to all those who helped with the event. Around
150 people assist in marshalling the race and village traffic,
manning the Help Desk and taking 'on-the-day' registrations.
Thanks also go the Pattingham Bell Ringers and the band of ladies
who prepare and serve the hundreds of pieces of harvest cake
with a hot cup of tea. Thanks also to the farmers for their cooperation
on the actual course.
Publicity...
Thanks also go to all the publications and radio stations that
took up our Press Releases and published details of this year's
run. We would particularly like to mention Wolverhampton Chronicle,
Staffordshire Journal, The Villager, Express & Star and Pattingham
Parish magazine.
Raynet (communications), the Red Cross and the Community Paramedics
were again on duty and we thank them for their attendance which
ensures the welfare of all runners taking part in the run.
As previous years, donations will be made to various local charities
including the Air Ambulance plus the Village School, the Village
Playing Fields Association and Raynet. Remaining proceeds from
the Bells Run are given to St. Chad's Church, Pattingham. |

Next year's
Bells Run takes place on Sunday 13th October 2013
The 24th Bells of Pattingham Run will take place on Sunday
13th October 2013, starting at 11.00 am from the Village Hall
Playingfields.
The first run
back in 1990, was organised to raise money to replace the old
wooden bell frame in the belfry of St. Chad's church in Pattingham.
Because of its popularity, the run has continued over the years
and now is a respected event in the running world with a limit
of 1000 entries.
 All
proceeds from the race are now used for local charities, such
as the County Air Ambulance, Playing Fields Committee, St Chad's
School and also to help St. Chad's Church funds. All runners
finishing receive a 'Bells Run' brass and the first runner from
the Parish of Pattingham with Patshull will be presented with
a cup to be held for one year.
The design
for the Bells Run brass is changed each year and they have become
collector's pieces. The picture shows a typical design for the
2012 race.
The run starts and finishes in Pattingham in South Staffordshire
over a 7 mile off-road, multi-terrain course, under UKA rules.
Costs to enter by pre-booking, or entering on the day, will be
posted on this website in the future.
