With the 40th Edition of the Marathon des Sables Legendary marking our largest-ever team entry, we’re excited to connect with and welcome new supporters.

⚓ Thanks to funding from Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity (RNRMC), we can continue delivering our employment, mental health and wraparound care programmes to Royal Navy and Royal Marine veterans who need them most.

Generous funding from organisations like RNRMC supports veterans like Darren, a former Royal Marine: "Without Kelly, I wouldn’t be here. While I was drinking and in rehab, my finances fell apart. I was about to lose my home and was chased for a large debt I didn’t owe. It was overwhelming—I was in a very bad place. Kelly listened, went the extra mile, and helped me put things right."

🌄 What started back in 2013 with around 100 teams has grown into something truly special - a powerful community event bringing together thousands of supporters and raising over £2.5 million for veterans and their families.

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Grasmere, people come together each year to take on the fells. Driven by teamwork, friendship and a shared commitment to making a difference.
