Inside Salisbury: Fun-filled charity events highlighting homelessness
Alabare announce two events at Thruxton Race Circuit
by Annette J Beveridge
A LOCAL CHARITY that helps the homeless has set up two fund-raising events due to take place at the popular Thruxton Race Circuit.
Alabaré is hosting a day of running in September this year and two unique races have been carefully designed to appeal to families, corporate teams, charity supporters and competitive runners.
Event organiser at Alabaré, Rebecca Mullen, said: "We wanted to create an event that would be as rewarding for participants as it is impactful for those we serve. Whether you're aiming to hit a new personal best on our 10k Speedway or bringing your family along to the fun-filled Colour Dash, every entry helps Alabaré continue its crucial mission of providing safe housing and support to vulnerable people.
“We’re proud to invite people from all walks of life to be part of this amazing event."
Both events will take place on Saturday, September 13.
The two events listed here will help to fund vital services for those experiencing homelessness in the UK but the aim is for an enjoyable and memorable day.

Rebecca added: "Whether you're a competitive athlete or simply looking for a joyful day out with family and friends, we've got something for you. This is also a brilliant opportunity for companies to bring their teams together for a day of team-building, wellness, and community support.
"Events like this allow us to continue our work and reach even more people facing homelessness. Every participant and donation helps us provide life-saving care and resources to those in need."
