A spokesperson for The Well Foundation said: “This isn’t just about running.
“It’s about solidarity, raising awareness, and showing Gaza that people thousands of miles away care deeply and are ready to act.”
The participants will set off at 8am on Sunday, October 5, and registration costs £39 – although financial assistance will be available for those unable to pay.
Participants are encouraged to set their estimated finish time to 1 hour and 1 minute so they can start as a united group.
The campaign will feature a single JustGiving page, www.justgiving.com/page/wfs10k, where participants can donate.
There will also be walking groups and a dedicated ‘sisters’ group for those unable to run but still want to participate.
A representative from Unity said: “The power of collective action can’t be overstated.
“This campaign isn’t about one organisation or one individual.
“It’s about humanity, unity, and compassion in action.”
