WHY WE RUN IN THE DARK

As darkness sweeps around the globe in mid-November, 25,000 people worldwide will get up from their armchairs, slip on their red flashing armbands and pull on their running shoes to complete a 5k or 10k.

Running separately while connecting digitally across 7 continents, this global movement will light up the night as people hit the road to Run in the Dark for the Mark Pollock Trust and to fundraise for Collaborative Cures to help cure paralysis in our lifetime.

Find out more about Collaborative Cure’s mission to bring people together to cure paralysis in our lifetime.

Free limited edition long-sleeve tech top if you sign up by 31 August 2021.
