The Great Vending Run Together 22nd to 26th September 2025 in support of EdUKaid

This all started with a couple of mates having a few beers putting the worlds to right, with a passion and overwhelming desire to change lives of underprivileged children and make a difference in the world we live in today.

We are proud to announce the Great Vending Run Together.

Since 2010, the vending industry has raised more than £250,000 in aid of the EdUKaid. As a result, EdUKaid has dramatically improved the lives of over 50,000 disadvantaged children in one of the most remote areas of Tanzania. 

Starting on Monday 22nd September I will be running in support of EdUKaid from Wilkes Vending in Wakefield to the Great Vending Get Together in Ardencote over 5 days. The total distance is 132 miles, the equivalent of five Marathons in five days or 350,000 vending machines!

I will be making some stops along the way including Wilkes Vending, AVS HQ, East Midlands Vending, Coin a Drink and Refresh.
