HOB Fun Run

What a fantastic day we had at the HOB Fun Run on Saturday! 🏃🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♂️

Over 260 primary and nursery children completed the 1.5km loop around HOB Primary School, with runners joining us from across Banchory and the surrounding areas. It was wonderful to see so many families supporting the event — thank you all for coming along and making the day so special!

While we’re still finalising the total amount raised, we wanted to take a moment to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who helped make the event possible. Without the incredible support from our community, sponsors, volunteers, and supporters, events like this simply couldn’t happen.

Special thanks go to:

👏 The school and janitor for agreeing to our let request and allowing us to use the grounds, stage, and facilities.

👏 Bancon Homes and K & I Paterson Ltd for sponsoring the water bottles and medals.

👏 Pete McIntosh for being a fantastic compère throughout the day.

👏 SB Fitness for providing signage and hi-vis equipment.

👏 Granite Grit Ltd for getting everyone warmed up and ready to run.

👏 Continental Cream for helping us cool down afterwards.

👏 BCFC 2012s for keeping everyone well fed. Banchory Community Football Club Sc051182

👏 Banchory Tescos for donating water and cereal bars, and for allowing us to bag pack and fundraise ahead of the event.

👏 The Parent Council Fundraising Team for running their stall and keeping everyone entertained and refreshed.

👏 The Movement Bothy for putting our agility skills to the test.

👏Stardust Banchory and Deeside Dance Centre for their brilliant performances

👏 Everyone who donated raffle prizes, including local businesses, family, and friends of HOBS.

👏 All of the volunteers, marshals and stall holders who gave up their time to help on the day.

👏 And of course, all the enthusiastic, determined children who took part — and convinced their parents to buy raffle tickets 😆

Thank you all so much!! 👏👏👏

As a reminder, the funds raised will support sporting and wellbeing initiatives within the school, while also allowing us to give back to our wider community and continue promoting healthy, active lifestyles for children.

This year’s beneficiaries are Banchory Paths and Aboyne Gymnastics & Trampoline Club. Funds raised will help improve accessible path networks for all abilities and support the development of the new Banchory gym facility.

THANK YOU ❤️

The HOB Fun Run Committee
