There are hundreds of events both in the UK and abroad that you can enter to get running for children's rights. These range from local fun runs to world class events like the London Marathon. There truly is something for everyone.
UNICEF UK has a fantastic team of runners and we're looking for more people to join us. Whether you are contemplating your first 5km run or are a professional runner and regularly take part in events, we want to hear from you.
