Run for charity with Action Medical Research. Long distance running is an excellent challenge as well as being a great way to keep fit, and doing it for charity provides the feel good factor that comes from knowing that your effort is counting towards making a real difference for children around the world.
We have places in the world's greatest and best-known events and races. As part of a team, you will receive fantastic training and fundraising support, regular updates and access to post-race events. We are with you every step of the way from training to your big day.
