The World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) is the world's largest alliance of animal welfare organisations. Through partnership with hundreds of member societies we strive to create a world where animal welfare matters and animal cruelty ends. We bring about change at both grassroots and governmental levels, to benefit animals. We support and develop high profile campaigns, scientifically-backed projects and innovative education initiatives. With our member societies, governments and international agencies, we also provide relief to animals in communities affected by disasters.

In 2009 WSPA had 24 runners take part. However we want an even bigger team for 2010 so if you have your own place please consider joining Team WSPA. We will provide all our runners with a fundraising pack, a running vest or t-shirt, a massage and refreshments at the end and full support throughout the time leading up to the big day. We even have some guaranteed places available for those who were unlucky with the main ballot.
