Demand for places are always high, but you can guarantee your spot at the start line by running on behalf of The Children's Trust. We ask runners to pay a £35 registration fee and pledge to raise a minimum of £299 in sponsorship to enable us to help children with brain injury and neurodisability to live their best life possible.

By running for us, you will receive:

  • Our very own Children's Trust branded running vest or t-shirt
  • Materials to inspire you and support your fundraising
