Running events
From 5k to ultra marathons, we'll support you every step of the way in any running event for our charity you wish to undertake.
To secure your place in a run you will have to get your place directly from the race organisers. Once you have done this get in touch with our Challenges Team and we will give you the support, advice and cheers you need to reach the finish line.
