Aching Arms is inviting runners across the UK to lace up for a meaningful challenge in 2026, with places now open in a range of events throughout the year. 

The charity, which supports bereaved families after the loss of a baby, is encouraging both seasoned runners and first‑time racers to join Team Aching Arms and help raise vital funds to continue their ongoing work.

With a calendar packed full of iconic runs, participants can choose from scenic 10K routes to major city half marathons and marathons, each offering an opportunity to honour a much-loved and missed baby, raise awareness of pregnancy and baby loss and make a tangible difference for bereaved families across the UK.

Runners who join the team will receive dedicated fundraising support, an Aching Arms running vest, and the knowledge that every step helps the charity provide comfort bears and bereavement support for parents navigating unimaginable grief.

Start your year with purpose by taking on a challenge for Aching Arms. You will be helping us reach more families and continue the work that means so much to so many.
Places are now open for 2026 events, and supporters are encouraged to sign up early to secure their preferred race.
