Challenge Events

Take on one of London’s most iconic events with Team Little Village, from the Royal Parks Half to the London Landmarks Half Marathon, and turn your miles into support for families experiencing poverty.

When you join the team, we’ll be with you every step of the way with training support, fundraising guidance and your Little Village running top for race day. We cover the cost of your place, and ask each runner to commit to their fundraising target. Every mile you run and every pound you raise will help provide vital support to families with babies and young children across London, making a real difference when it’s needed most.

Got your own place or planning a challenge of your own?

If you’ve secured your own place in an event, or you’re planning a challenge your own way, you can fundraise for Little Village.

You’ll be part of Team Little Village, with fundraising tips, support and encouragement from us throughout. We’ll also send you a Little Village running top once you reach a set fundraising amount.

Tell us what you’ve got planned at fundraising@littlevillagehq.org and we’ll help you get started.
