Spread the love this Valentine’s Day and help fight childhood cancer.
Run 10k anytime before or during the 14th February, to raise funds for vital research into new, more effective and kinder treatments for children with neuroblastoma. Choose the date, time and location of your race and the floor is yours!
The 10k can be completed in a number of ways:
If you’re lucky enough to have that special someone to run with, you can each run 5k on Valentine’s Day.
Run 10K alone, before or during Valentine’s Day.
Run 5K alone on two separate days before or during the 14th February.
