The World AIDS Day Red Run is returning this year to Victoria Park, London and is now open for registration.

The Red Run is an annual charity fun run to mark World AIDS Day and raise awareness of, and money for, HIV support services across the country. Last year, 2000 people took part in the Run, raising funds for 31 charities.

Want to take part in this year’s event in support of NAM aidsmap? You’ll be helping to raise vital funds so we can continue to provide information to people living with HIV.

This year is a very special year for us – it’s our 30th birthday! So why not set yourself a challenge and register to run for us? You can have a read through some of the stories from people who have taken part in races and marathons over the years for NAM aidsmap.
