Race Events
There are many marathons and runs taking place across the UK and
every year we aim to get as many people running for Ovacome as
possible! But don't be afraid if you can't manage a marathon, there
are all kinds of events organised across the country from 10K races
to fun runs and walks and the Ovacome team are here to help,
support and encourage you!
