Run the Manchester Marathon for Sands

Adidas Manchester Marathon is one of the UK’s premier running events running past Manchester United's iconic ground Old Trafford, passing through the City Centre, Altrincham, Stretford & Sale with live musical performances.

You can sign up in one of two ways. Either through a Sands charity place and commit to raise a minimum amount for Sands. Or you can use your own place secured through the event organisers and fundraise what you can for Sands. 

Reg Fee: £25 

Minimum Sponsorship Target: £600

As part of Team Sands you'll receive

• Warm Sands welcome with fundraising ideas and training tips
• Supportive team emails and Team Sands Whatsapp group to get to know your team 
• Free Sands running vest
• Once-in-a-lifetime experience which will help save babies’ lives and support anyone affected by the death of a baby

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. 

''Absolutely do it! Sands is such a worthy cause and they will offer  you support all the way along. I don't think I would have completed it if it wasn't for the motivation given by Sands along the way and knowing the differing the sponsorship will make to families.''
