In November 2023, Archie Vokes ran an incredible 100km to raise funds for the awareness, prevention, and treatment of prostate cancer. This cause was deeply meaningful to Archie and his family, who witnessed firsthand the impact that such efforts can have on families affected by this disease
Archie had ambitious plans for November 2024—he intended to run a marathon every weekend throughout the month. Sadly, in December of last year, Archie & his mother tragically lost their lives in a devastating accident.
In honor of Archie’s dedication to the Movember cause, I (Ben) will be taking on this challenge in his memory and would love for you to join me.
Throughout November, I will be running a total of 78.6 miles (3 marathons) then finishing with a full marathon on Saturday, November 30th. On the day of the event, we will also be hosting a 10k, half marathon, and full marathon. The event will start and finish at Alderley Park and there will be loads for friends & family to do whilst you run or if you just wish to support.
Let’s come together and make this an epic event in memory of Archie and Kate.

“I don’t believe he truly knew the impact he had on people. I didn’t realise the impact he had on me. He lit up the room and made everyone feel valued. His zest for life and say yes attitude brought something to the team that we have never had before and is something we promise to carry on in his name.”
