Starting alongside the grandeur of Woolwich Royal Artillery Barracks (short walk from the new Elizabeth Line station!) – the full 50km looped route heads through Charlton, along the Thames Path to Greenwich and the O2, Old Royal Naval College & the fabulous Cutty Sark, then onwards through central London – crossing the Thames via the Millenium footbridge. It’s then past the Tower of London, and on to the Olympic Park, before returning to Woolwich via the foot tunnel.

Charity Sponsorship - Pay a small registration fee, but raise more so that Sands can cover the cost of your event place. Sands is an Associate partner so you get 25% off registration fee.

Mixed Funding - Pay more of a registration fee, but raise less of a sponsorship target so that Sands can cover the rest of the cost of your event place.

Own Place - Pay for your event place upfront, but you do not have a set minimum sponsorship target, you can raise what you want for Sands.

Anyone who sign ups as 'charity sponsorship' or 'mixed funding' will need to raise at least 50% of the sponsorship target 4 weeks before the challenge to secure their entry into the challenge.

The difference you will make..

Sands want to ensure that everyone affected by the loss of a baby gets the support they need and deserve when facing the toughest of time.  We want to campaign for change and support research so that fewer babies die and so that fewer families experience the pain of losing a baby.

We all know someone who has lost a baby. So please join Team Sands and help us continue to be there for them. 

''It was an incredible day and an epic challenge. I am so proud to have raised money for Sands and I hope it goes someway to helping families in a way that I was helped.''
