There are loads of other events to choose from, and others you could arrange yourself!
By buying your own place in an event, you'll save CAFOD this upfront cost and we can ensure all of your sponsorship goes towards our essential work overseas. We won't set you a sponsorship target but will support you in raising as much as you can. If you are signing up for a local running event, you could set up a JustGiving Page here.
