  • A free Action for Children branded running vest or t-shirt to wear on the day of your event.
  • Tailored training guides and tips from our professional running coach.
  • Digital support pack with fundraising ideas and materials.
  • Support from our dedicated events team to help you smash your fundraising target.

The money you raise will go towards our mission of creating safe and happy childhoods. You'll be changing the lives of vulnerable children and their families for the better.
