Find your event

Events are held across the country to suit every level of fitness, from a full marathon to a sponsored walk. Make sure it is an event which allows you to fundraise for Womankind as some events are restricted to a particular charity. If you need help finding a suitable event, contact us at Womankind. 

Register

Once you have found the perfect event, you just need to register with the organisers, giving Womankind’s details where required.
