Sheffield Half Marathon

Take on a challenge and run the Sheffield half-marathon for Irise!

With the pandemic forcing the loss of decades worth of progress towards gender equality and risking the futures of over 10 million girls, the UK government’s short-sighted cuts to UK Aid have left the futures of girls in the Irise community and beyond hanging in the balance. Without support they face school dropout, child marriage and the loss of their dreams for the future.

We’re raising £25,000 to support over 5,000 girls impacted by the pandemic back to school and we want you to join us! Take on the Sheffield half-marathon this September and raise money for Irise! 

How to get involved:

1. Book your place at the half-marathon on September 26th 2021 here.
