Trips like Transgrancanaria have a huge impact on our young people. They give our TrailFam Race Team athletes the chance to grow, explore new places and see what they can achieve when they work together. Experiences like this build confidence, independence and a sense of pride that stays with them long after the race is over.

Our young athletes train with real commitment. They balance school, family life and heavy training loads, and they show up with enthusiasm every week. They may not always have the same access to events, travel or kit as some of their peers in the sport, but their work ethic and determination have helped them make incredible progress. They are becoming strong, skilled and thoughtful young athletes who lead by example.

This December, they are running the full distance from London to Gran Canaria. It is a challenge that will test them and bring them together. Every mile they run represents their drive to grow and their belief in what is possible.

Your support helps turn that effort into life changing opportunities. It gets them to Transgrancanaria and opens the door to future events like Ultra Trail Mt Fuji, where they can experience new cultures, meet other young runners and continue developing through trail running.

A donation to TrailFam is an investment in the future of the sport. It helps create a more inclusive and diverse running community and supports the next generation of young people who will step forward with confidence because others believed in them.

Thank you for backing their journey.
