The 13th annual Chefette Fun Run was held on Sunday, 8 June 2025 and more than 5,000 participants took to the streets of Rockley, Christ Church for the 6 Kilometer charity run which ended at Chefette Fontabelle.
This event raised BDS$135,000 and continued Chefette’s goal of promoting active lifestyles in its local communities and enhancing the quality of lives of our youth.
For the 13 years of the event, Corporate Barbados has given The Chefette Fun Run its full support and assisted in generating approximately BDS$1.5 Million to date. The funds raised since inception supported a total of five (5) local charities: The Aunty Olga Needy Children’s Fund; managed by Variety the Childrens’ Charity who provides school supplies and other essential items for approximately 1,350 children in need. The Precious Touch Foundation grants wishes to terminally ill children, The YWCA Breakfast Programme, Eden Lodge Youth Charitable Trust and Fishers of Men Charity. These charities do a great job of assisting the less fortunate families in Barbados.

Other awards were given to the top winners in five (5) categories: First Male and Female across the line, first teen male and female across the line, the first boy and girl across the line, first senior across the line, largest participating school, and the largest corporate team was won by Elegant Hotels with over one hundred and fifty (150) participants.

Gratitude is also expressed to all children, parents and families who made contributions to the Chefette Fun Run by participating, purchasing a shirt or volunteering to assist with critical areas of the event. We cannot do it without you.
