Whether you’re a walker, a serious marathon runner or anything in between, join the WoW running team and help more women get the most out of life by raising money to help fund vital medical research and the development of specialist doctors and nurses.

In return we promise to treat you as an individual and ensure that you'll get the most out of your running challenge. We will help you with your fundraising endeavours by providing you with a WoW running vest and a fundraising pack that contains information on the work of Wellbeing of Women along with fundraising tips and materials such as moneyboxes, balloons and posters.
