About Sanders' Saunter Charity Race — what makes it special

ABOUT THE RACE

A day you'll remember,
long past the finish line.

The 50K, 25K, and 10K start at staggered times, organised by the Lawrence Trail Hawks.

Through the “Hero Runner” fundraising programme, it supports a designated charity each year—a race where running directly becomes a donation.
