There are hundreds of events to choose from, including 5km, 10km, half marathon, marathon and ultra-challenges. Take a look at Runner’s World to find the perfect event for you or take a look at one of our top choices below.

Yorkshire Marathon - 20th October 2019
A sell-out every year since its launch in 2013, the Yorkshire Marathon is one of the UK’s most popular marathons and it’s easy to see why. A picturesque course taking in the splendour of historic York and surrounding countryside, great pb potential, exuberant crowds, friendly marshals and an eye-catching finisher’s medal all add up to a fantastic event for runners of all abilities.
Once your place is secured let us know and we’ll get you signed up to #TeamTinyTickers. There’s no minimum sponsorship, just raise as much as you can!
Take a beautiful and iconic venue, wait until dusk, get the family together (and we mean everyone – grandparents, uncles, aunties, parents, kids, friends!), dig out the fluorescent clothing and grab everything and anything that glows or flashes. Then set off on a Supernova 5K!
Once you have registered, let us know and you can join #TeamTinyTickers at the startline.
Whatever your distance, wherever your event, we’d love to have you on the Tiny Tickers Team. Let us know your plans by filling in this form or emailing fundraising@tinytickers.org and we can support you every step of the way.
