SAUNDERSFOOT runners turned out in force on Sunday (Mar 2) to support the James Criddle Foundation, a Tenby-based food bank, in a successful event aimed at raising donations and awareness.

Now in its third year, the annual Food Bank Run saw runners and walkers take part in the well-attended event. Blessed with sunny weather, participants enjoyed a scenic route along the Heritage Trail to Pleasant Valley before returning to Wiseman’s Bridge Inn, which generously hosted the collection point in its beer garden.

The initiative was originally conceived by Sarah Don, who first organised the Food Bank Run at her club in Fareham, Hampshire. It was intended as a local effort to support food banks, but after seeing its impact, Sarah expanded the idea nationally and internationally in 2023, using social media to encourage running groups worldwide to get involved.

The James Criddle Foundation was founded in 2022 in memory of James Criddle, who tragically died in a motorcycle accident while living in Bali. His mother, Rachael, one of the foundation’s organisers, said: “James would willingly give his last to anyone in need and would be delighted with the Foundation and the ethos behind it. We love working with Saundersfoot Runners on the annual Food Bank Run – it’s such a friendly, happy occasion, even though the need for it remains a sad reflection of our times.”

The event was a great success, with participants donating food items and purchasing raffle tickets. The foundation also received £126 from Wiseman’s Bridge Inn, which organised a quiz night in support of the cause.

Those interested in next year’s event can find details on the Saundersfoot Runners Facebook page.
