Over the summer of 2021 Stratton Youth will be supporting the first ever ‘Stratton Superstars’ event. The event will raise funds for Cirencester based charities, including the football club, Stratton Playgroup, Stratton School and Cirencester Housing for Young People (CHYP). We will also distribute up to 10% of the money received to local grassroots sports teams for them to invest in continuing, and enhancing, youngsters’ access to sports such as rugby, tennis and hockey.

The series of activities comprises the following events and timings:

• April: Marathon – Aim to achieve 26.2 miles over the course of the month, the goal is more about completing than time!
• May: Cycling – Cycle 200km throughout May
• June: Zumba with Meryl Miller
• July: Fitness Boot Camp with Ollie Wakefield from Your Fitness Community
• September: Running – run up to 26.2 miles on Saturday 4th September

After the final event there will be some festivities at Baunton Lane Playing Fields that will start once the running is completed. In the evening we will have a charity ball where we will re-live some of the highs (and maybe lows!) of the Superstars in action, partying the night away while raising as much as we can in the last few hours of the event.

How can you participate?
All the main events will be held in Cirencester but, with the exception of the ball, people can participate wherever they choose. You can do as many activities you wish to do and can either join in with the main group or complete them independently (both the June and July activities will be streamed online). On the final day we will have a shorter route for those aged under 18 so they can join in with the last few miles of the run before our finish at Baunton Lane Playing Fields.

Who are we raising money for?
The money will be split as follows:
• Stratton Youth FC: 40% of all money raised
• Stratton Playgroup: 20% of all money raised
• CHYP: 20% of money raised
• Stratton School: 5% of all money raised
• The remaining 15% will be split between local food banks and other (non-football) grassroots sports clubs

However, people can decide to raise money for their own charities if they wish. To register or learn more go to www.strattonsuperstars.co.uk
