Well Run Races in aid of WellChild

Support WellChild in a Well Run race!

Well Run have something for everyone, offering a range of distances and beautiful venues taking you from the summer into the autumn. Each event lets you race through stunning Cotswolds scenery, making every run as memorable as it is rewarding. Choose from Jeremy Clarkson’s Hawkstone Brewery, Dunkertons Park or Far Peak at Northleach – or enter all three!

Donate a one-off amount to WellChild or create a fundraising page – you can choose when you sign up.

Well Run races aim to encourage runners of all abilities to participate, with the ethos of hosting friendly, inclusive events that foster a strong social community, promoting good mental wellbeing for all.

WellChild representatives will be at each event on hand to answer any questions about the charity and any future Challenge Events you could run on behalf of WellChild. You can also enter the WellChild charity raffle, with a range of wellness prizes up for grabs (raffle terms and conditions below).

If you would like to be a volunteer race-marshal at one of these events, please email [email protected]

We’d love to have you on board. Events like this simply wouldn’t be possible without the support of dedicated volunteers.
