About the event

The GSK Orange United Run, supporting Save the Children, at Dorney Lake, Windsor is set to be a fun filled day! The event is open to all GSK employees (including contingent workers), their friends and family, customers and suppliers.

Take part in either the 5km or 10km Runs or, the 2km Colour Me Orange Run where you can run/walk/dance through the course and get showered in safe, eco-friendly, plant-based powdered orange dye!

If that wasn’t enough we’ve also got our family area, with face painting and a bouncy castle. Plus other GSK partners will be there on the day, such as McLaren simulator, GSK Science Education team, as well as Double Olympic Champion Dame Kelly Holmes!

ALL PROFIT MADE FROM THIS EVENT WILL CONTRIBUTE TO GSK’S PARTNERSHIP WITH SAVE THE CHILDREN. We are asking adults to raise £50.00 and children to raise £20.00. If we have 500 runners, we could raise £20,000 at this event. In 2016 GSK will be supporting Save the Children programmes in the UK – Born to Read and Eat, Sleep, Learn, Play! (ESLP!). All the money we raise can make a life saving difference to those children who need our help the most and remember that GSK will match every pound raised.

Help us to reach the target: challenge yourself in the 2016 GSK Orange United Run and raise £50.00 or more!
