Challenge Yourself At The Great Eastern Run 2026

Take on a challenge that will help us change lives across the East of England. 

The AEPG Great Eastern Run returns on Sunday 11 October 2026, and we’d love you to join Team Ormiston Families on this iconic, closed‑road race through Peterborough.  

Registering your interest to run with Ormiston Families means you’ll pay a reduced fee of £15 when the time comes – roughly 60% off the standard entry fee. 

We kindly ask runners to aim to raise around £180 to support our work. This is not a condition of entry, and no part of your fundraising is a payment for goods or services. 

To help us track and celebrate your progress, we ask that you set up a JustGiving page linked to Ormiston Families.

Why your fundraising matters 

Your support helps us provide specialist early intervention services for children, young people and families facing difficult moments. Whether that’s coping with a family separation, navigating the impact of a parent’s imprisonment or finding support after a bereavement. 

Every £20 you raise can fund a skilled practitioner for one hour, helping a child feel seen,  heard and more hopeful for the future. 

Together, Team Ormiston Families is aiming to raise £5,000, enough to fund 250 hours of specialist support for those who need us most.
