Walk (Run) This Way: Sarah Harding 5km Fundraiser

Shake off those winter cobwebs and join us for “Walk (Run) This Way,” a special 5km event dedicated to the memory of Sarah Harding and in support of the Sarah Harding Breast Cancer Appeal. Whether you’re ready to race toward the finish line or prefer a more relaxed stroll, this is your chance to step out in style for an incredible cause.

This inspiring event is hosted by Sacha Howell, Sarah Harding’s consultant, who worked closely with Sarah during her courageous battle with breast cancer. Sacha will be gunning for gold, and you are invited to put him to the test in the 5km track race...! We're inviting YOU to come and take part, whether you want to race your way into the New Year, or take part in the leisurely 'fun run'...! Volunteers and spectators alike are also invited to come together for this event.

And here’s where it gets fun – we’re encouraging everyone to dress up Girls Aloud-themed! Whether you want to channel the glam of "The Promise," the edginess of "Sound of the Underground," or the sparkle of "Something New," there’s no better way to celebrate the group’s iconic style. Sequins, glitter, bold colours – let’s bring the stage to the streets! With the spirit of Girls Aloud inspiring us every step of the way, we’ll be racing toward a future free from breast cancer.

Expect a morning filled with energy, music, and community spirit. From the camaraderie of your fellow participants to the upbeat sounds of Girls Aloud, this will be an unforgettable way to step into the New Year. Whether you’re running untouchably fast or walking at your own pace, your support will make a meaningful difference in the fight against breast cancer.

So don’t let life get cold this season – come run, walk, dance, and sparkle as we celebrate Sarah’s life and help pave the way for brighter tomorrows. Together, we’ll honour Sarah’s legacy while raising vital funds to support ongoing research and care in the fight against this disease.

Walk (Run) This Way with us – because life’s not a race, but this one is truly worth the effort.
