We ask runners to raise a minimum of £350 in sponsorship – and every step you take will help fund cutting-edge research into scar free healing for those affected by injury, conflict, or surgery.
But this is just the beginning…
More 2026 events and locations will be released in October 2025 – and if you see something you’d like to do to raise money, just get in touch.
