Whether you’re an experienced runner, just getting started, or run for fun, running for Fair Ways is a fantastic way to challenge yourself while also helping to make a difference.

Why Fair Ways?

By choosing to run and represent Fair Ways at the Great South Run, you’ll be helping us continue our work supporting children and families across our services, whether that be in our schools, foster homes, our family centres or residential children’s homes.

When you sign up to run for Fair Ways, you’ll receive:

• A Fair Ways running vest or T-shirt to wear with pride on race day
• A goodie bag
• Access to a designated free bag drop location, so you can leave your belongings somewhere safe while you run
• A noisy and supportive Fair Ways team of supporters to cheer you along the way
• Your own official fundraising page, which you can share with friends, family and colleagues to help raise money before the big day

Most importantly, you’ll be part of Team Fair Ways and helping raise awareness and funds for a charity committed to making a positive difference.
