DPD Run for Make-a-Wish

On Sunday 11th May a team of 30 are lacing up our running shoes for the Sutton Park Running Festival to support the amazing work of the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Our goal? A combined distance of 350km – the equivalent of a run from our very own DPD International Gateway in Hinckley to Calais, the gateway into mainland Europe.

We've got a fantastic mix of runners, some who've done this before and others who are taking on their first challenge, all combining efforts to raise money for a very worthy cause.

Every donation, big or small, will help grant these wishes.

Please donate and help us reach our target!

2 weeks down, 10 weeks to go!

We've made incredible strides! £4,098 raised and a staggering 643 training kilometres already clocked 👊🏃 That's the equivalent to driving from London to Newcastle 🤯

The team are off to a great start to ensure they are race day ready and making sure every training kilometre counts. All motivated by taking on the personal challenge and making a difference through raising money for Make-a-Wish foundation. 

Thank you to everyone who's supported so far, every donation goes a long way 🙌

Team DPD International - Aim to beat last years run event


Last year, a team of 8 from DPD International came together to raise £5,000 (Matched by DPD!) for Manor House Food Bank by completing the Warwick Half Marathon.

This year, we're building on that incredible effort with a group of 30 people joining the Birmingham Running Festival on May 11th! The running festival includes distances to challenge everyone, from a 5k to a 10k and even the half marathon. Collectively we aim to achieve 350km on the day!

We're all challenging ourselves and excited to see what we can achieve together.

Thank you to our Sponsors
