The PolyPacers

Run2Paris May 2026

A Scare-Bear Run this weekend!

This weekend, the race begins!

Team Imperial (The Polypacers) are taking on the Spooky Scare Bear Run - our first running event alongside our amazing customer Veolia Stafford (Team BIN2PARIS)!

It’s all friendly competition (for now) as we warm up for something truly epic - our joint challenge to run from London to Paris in just four days in 2026! Each runner will cover a half marathon or more every single day, all to raise money for Parkinson’s UK.

We can’t wait to see who reaches Paris first, but for now, it’s all about teamwork, community and having a great run together this weekend!

Jack runs his 1st race!

Jack has taken on the challenge by starting with a 10K race in Stafford, right in our competitors’ area. We’re so proud of his effort and boy was he lucky with the weather! Perfect running conditions. Next up, we’ll be heading down South on October 25th to take part in the Scare Bear Run, hosted by Saturn Running, in which we will attempt anything from 3k to an ultra-marathon!

Polypacers en Route - we're running to Paris!

Oh lordy, you heard that right! Team Imperial are running to Paris and we're doing it all in just four days!

C’est impossible! I hear you cry. Well, technically there’s a ferry to get us from Newhaven to Dieppe, but we’ll be setting off from Wimbledon, London and finishing at none other than the Eiffel Tower. Each of us will be running a half marathon every single day. Say whaaat?!

To spice things up, Imperial’s customers will be joining us too – which means we now have the added challenge of beating them to the finish line - all before you can say sacré bleu! 

This is one heck of a challenge that’s going to push us (and our questionable knees) to the limit, but we’re doing it to raise as much money as possible for Parkinson’s UK. Parkinson’s is the fastest-growing neurological disease in the world and with your support and donations, we can provide vital funds to help this incredible charity and all the people it supports.

We'd love it if you could support this cause and if you can’t donate money, snacks will do nicely – especially Percy Pigs to keep us fuelled along the way!

Much love and bonne chance to us :)
