The Live for Lexie 130‑Mile Fundraising Trail Run — May 7th–9th, 2027
Updated: 5 days ago
On May 7th 2027, four determined runners will set out on an extraordinary challenge: a 130‑mile continuous trail run linking every OJ Gym in the group, completed within an intense 48‑hour window. This is more than a test of endurance it’s a celebration of community, resilience and the power of fitness to bring people together for a meaningful cause.
Running the full distance will be:
Henry White
Dan Price

Together, they’ll travel gym‑to‑gym across the OJ network, covering rugged trails, quiet lanes, and the long stretches that connect our fitness community across the region.
Why They’re Running
This event is designed to raise funds for a cause close to our hearts, The UK Sepsis Trust. Every mile represents commitment ,not just from our four runners but from the entire OJ Gyms family.
Our goal is simple: Bring our members together, move with purpose, and make a real difference.
