If you are looking to have fun while taking on a challenge, join our Banana Army and help raise money to beat blood cancers.

Our Banana Army welcomes everyone, whether you are doing your first 5k or facing your first Olympic triathlon!

We have places available in major events around the country such as the Virgin London Marathon, Bupa Great North Run or the Blenheim Triathlon.

Or if you have your own place in a local event, we'd love you to raise money for us and be a part of our Banana Army too! Kids can join us as well at our junior Banana Army events.

We will help with all your fundraising and training needs. At our events you'll make friends, share unforgettable experiences -or maybe find yourself running alongside one of our celebrities!
