How it works
Choose your event click through for full race details, and sign up directly with the event organiser. Then get in touch with us fundraising@edwardstrust.org.uk to let us know you’re running for us and set up a fundraising page on Just Giving.
If you are already running an event, or want to run an event not on our list you can still fundraise for us.
When you run for Edwards Trust, every pound you raise helps us continue supporting bereaved children, young people, and families.
