Running

Whether you’re a seasoned runner or want to start running for the first time, we can support you with all types of running challenges, from 5k fun runs to marathons.

Every step you take helps us support the 55,000 men diagnosed with male cancer each year.

If you’re taking part in a run not listed on our website, we would still love to welcome you to our running team. Please check events in your area as there could be something to entice you to put on your running shoes!

Whatever you decide to do – thank you. Please contact us. We will be delighted to support you with all your running challenges.
