Al-Karim Run Club

50% sun, 50% rain, 100% humidity 🫠

Another Saturday run club completed this weekend with the 🤩

This weekend had seen the new duo come to light in SAS (might be the new ARC Suarez and Sturridge) in Sultan and Subhan. Both returning back for their second run out with the family and keeping eachother honest with their lap around the manor which reflected on us having 2 Runners of the week this week! 🙌

We had also seen Sayid chalk off his 3rd run, only 3 runs away from completing the 6 week Al-Karim Run Club Challenge 🔥

And it was all about the PB’s no jelly, with the current king of PB’s and Crocs, Akthar smashing his previous ones from last week 💨

Well done to all and can’t wait to see you again next week! Feel free to join us every Saturday @ Phelps Road, MK2 3FD ☺️

Link is in our Instagram bio for the WhatsApp group and Strava group 💛

With the weather so hot, an impressive turn out by the again to get some serious steps in 🔥

A warm welcome to Rashel and Subhan, who absolutely smashed it on their first run with us! Subhan not running in a good few years, kept the gaffer honest with their 5K and Rashel with Iqbaal 🤩

It was only right for our very own Akeel to be the first person to ring that PB bell, shaving off another two minutes, showing how far he has come and how much he is improving 🏃‍♂️ he also got to see Marcie boy out of work which meant their love grows fonder 👀🤣

Saving the best until last, our runner of the week was Akthar, forgetting his shoes but still keeping Akeel honest for his lap around in his crocs 😭 Crocs, sponsor our boy 🤩

Eid Mubarak 💛

From the to yours.

After a lovely weekend away on our first hike last week - the returned to the manor buzzing off the weekend of taking over the Seven Sisters!

A lovely new welcome to Sultan, Sayid, Emran, and his little one Eshaan chalking off their first runs with the club 🙌

Our runner of the week was Akeel this week, 7 weeks strong and clocked off his PB for his quickest 2 mile 🤩 it was just a shame the gaffer had forgotten to order the PB Bell 🙄

Please remember we have our media day next Saturday so looking forward catching as many of you there as we can! 💛

Oh and how could we forget; we had a surprise visit from Rey Mysterio! 🔥

🚨 PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨

Alhamdulillah, Al-Karim Run Club proudly presents:
THE HOMETOWN HERO 🔥

It only felt right for this to make its debut on MK Marathon weekend, worn first by our very own Aky.

The Hometown Hero is exactly what it stands for — being a voice for your people, standing for your community, and leading from the front.
Every detail has purpose.

The subtle chest design is a reminder to always lead with heart and keep pushing forward.�The bold back print represents the weight the name carries — a symbol of responsibility, pride, and legacy.

FTIL — For The Iron Lady 💛�(No, not Maggie Thatcher.)

As many of you know, the gaffer lost an incredibly important woman at the end of last year — one of the key reasons this club was started in the first place.
May Allah SWT grant her the highest ranks in Jannah.

If you were blessed enough to know the Iron Lady, you’ll know she embodied the very values this run club is built upon:
Love. Family. Resilience. Care. Leadership.
FTIL is more than lettering on a sleeve — it’s a reminder of the principles we carry every time we step out, together.
This is for the hometown.�This is for the people.�This is for the legacy we’re building.
