In 2024 we brought the wider running community together for an amazing opportunity to compete on one of the UK's historic and, in times gone by, most controversial sites - Greenham Common. 

We hope to announce details of our 2025 event soon.

Welcome to the Greenham Common

Half Marathon and 10k event site. 

We are supporting the charity New Life Special Care Babies which is a registered charity dedicated to raising money for special care baby units across the UK.  The charity funds specialist lifesaving equipment, some of which is not available on the NHS, giving premature and very sick babies the very best start in life.


​The Charity was launched by CEO and Founder, Trevor Goodall in 1995 in memory of his sons Joshua and Samuel who were born 3 months early weighing just 1lb 1oz and 1lb 3oz. Sadly, they both died after a week, but their struggle inspired Trevor to do something and to make a difference.

SPLASH THE PURPLE: RUNNING FOR PREMATURE BABIES

Can you pledge to raise or donate £50 in addition to your entry fee?

Donate £50 and you will receive a New Life running t-shirt before the event.  

Join other runners in creating the biggest splash of purple Greenham Common has ever seen.

How will the money be spent?

Funds will help us purchase a state-of-the-art infant incubator for The Buscot Unit at The Royal Berks Hospital.

 

The ventilator is designed to cater to the unique developmental requirements of very critically ill and premature babies, enabling ventilation at the earliest possible stage.

 

The outcome for many babies would be very different without this equipment.
