Keen but can’t make one or both of those events? No problem, we can provide other options throughout the year and across the UK. Contact us on fundraising@turn2us.org.uk to find out more.
Access also includes opportunities to join Coopah’s running community, strength and conditioning tutorials to help avoid injuries (plus advice on how to recover if you do pick up an injury), nutrition advice to fuel your new healthy habit and integration with your fitness tracker to monitor your fantastic progress.

Of course, your fundraising will also make a huge difference to people who are struggling to afford the basics in the UK. Your running could help keep food on the table and the lights on for people facing crisis. We’re here to support you make the most of your fundraising too.
