Orchid exists to save men's lives from testicular, prostate and penile cancers
through pioneering research and promoting awareness
Running is a great way to keep fit and a fantastic way to fundraise. Whether you go for a full marathon or a 5km run you’ll be helping to raise vital funds and awareness for Orchid and ultimately helping us to save men’s lives.
Orchid has guaranteed places in some of the world’s biggest running events including marathons, half marathons and 10km races. To choose from our list of events please click on the links below.
We also welcome runners who secure their own place in any running event across the country or indeed the world – from 5km fun runs to cross desert marathons! For inspiration on some of the biggest running events to get involved with, see the own place events list.
When it comes to supporting our runners, for Orchid it’s our top priority. We fully understand just what it takes to train for and complete a running challenge whilst fundraising at the same time. That's why we'll be there for you from the start with dedicated support throughout!
