Chamber member backs Fun Run with website overhaul
The official website of the Royal Sutton Fun Run has received an overhaul - with help from a Sutton Coldfield Chamber member.
Darren Langley Web Design & Marketing has designed and rebuilt the Fun Run web site.
The website is a key vehicle for the Fun Run as it approaches its 40th event, with most participants opting for online registration.
Fun Run event director Tracey Spare said: “Darren was keen to get involved with the Fun Run and offered to redesign and refresh the Fun Run web site ahead of this year 's milestone 40th Royal Sutton Fun Run.
“In recent years, online registration has become the norm for most people, so it 's critical our web site is visually appealing and easy to navigate.
“The web site has become critical for recruitment during the key registration period, and we 're thrilled with the new design Darren Langley has created.
“Working alongside The Curry Design Studio, Darren has retained the core 'royal ' colour scheme which reflects the status of Sutton Coldfield and introduced imagery which conveys the 'Fun ' side of the event. ”
Darren (pictured) said: “As someone who lives and works in the royal town, I fully appreciate the affection many people across the town and further afield have for this unique annual fundraising event.
“The atmosphere in the town on Fun Run day is very special and the sponsorship money generated and distributed to charities and voluntary organisations is vital, particularly post Covid and during the current cost of living squeeze.
“To have the opportunity to be directly involved with the event was an opportunity, not to be missed and I 'm delighted the organisers are happy with the end product.
“We 're delighted to be supporting the event as its new digital partner and excited to see so many people visiting the new web site to register for this year 's event on Sunday, 4 June.
“We 'll be introducing some new features and content as we move towards the event itself in a few months, including a link to view official course times. ”
Registration for this year 's 40th Royal Sutton Fun Run continues until all 5,500 places are booked - or until Easter Monday, 10 April.
