Run for Staying Put
Go the extra mile for Staying Put, and sign up to the Yorkshire Marathon. Raise vital funds for survivors of domestic abuse and sexual violence
THE YORKSHIRE MARATHON – YORK – 16TH OCTOBER 2022
For the first time ever, we are taking part in the Yorkshire Marathon, which is taking place in York on the 16th October 2022.
Do you want a subsidised place in one of these events, and raise vital funds for victims and survivors of domestic abuse?
By choosing to fundraise for us, you can sign up to the Yorkshire Marathon for just £25 (instead of £55) with a minimum fundraising target of £250.
Everyone who signs up will get a Staying Put charity t-shirt.
Your fundraising will directly help the women, men and children in Bradford who are victims and survivors of domestic abuse.
We’d love you to share your training pics on social media, using the hashtag #Run4StayingPut and we will add you to our Heroes Gallery.
What are you waiting for? Sign up today!
