2026 Run 50k in September

Help Simon raise 175!

I’m running 50k in September for families facing baby loss

I'm running 50k in September for every much-loved baby sadly not here today.

Sands ensure that everyone affected by the loss of a baby gets the support they need and deserve when facing the toughest of times. They campaign for change, provide training for midwives and healthcare professionals, and support research so that fewer babies die and so that fewer families experience the tragedy of losing their baby. Anything you are able to donate means so much.

Thank you.

Wednesday 23rd Sep
50km completed. That was a great way to spend some time this month. I’ve enjoyed the runs and I’m really happy that the little bit I’ve raised will support people in really meaningful ways. Thank you to everyone who’s sponsored me. 

First run

Tuesday 1st Sep
That’s the first 5km of my 50km for Sands September challenge. 

A bit tough after a day in school, even though it was an inset. Focus was on running for the whole time, managing the heart rate in the fat burning zone and not so much about time, but I kept running through the 5km, which bodes well for a park run at the weekend.

First park run since 2022!

Saturday 22nd Aug
I ran a few park runs back in 2021/22 but stopped. Lots of reasons why I didn’t run, mostly mental health related but after this morning I wish I hadn’t stopped! It was really nice to run with other people again. Park run is always friendly and encouraging.
Today was a little sad as a local running legend, Maurice, passed away on his Sunday morning run this week. We remembered him with a minute’s applause, which was lovely. 

The run… well it was a bit tough. I’ve not run Bury Field before and would say it’s only a summer venue! All grass, quite uneven in places, but really beautiful. I did struggle with pacing and heart rate a bit; 172 is a tad too high and I need to keep it in the 150 - 160 bracket a bit more. Work to do there, but a good practice for next month’s challenge. 

Thank you to my Sponsors
