Run 5k for charity and help us be here for children

Our 5k charity runs are perfect for those seeking to improve their fitness, engage in a community of like-minded people and do themselves proud.

Whatever your location, age or running experience, #TeamNSPCC 5k charity runs allow us all to come together for a single purpose: to continue to be here for vulnerable children.

Take in the historic landmarks of Edinburgh, run alongside the beautiful Bournemouth coastline or conquer the exhilarating obstacle course of a Tough Mudder event - whichever you choose, you'll be doing something amazing for children!
