Running for Sam and Hope

Tens of thousands took to the streets of Manchester for a massive running event, blending personal triumph with powerful causes. Familiar faces from “Race Across the World” — Katie, Harrison, Jo, and Kush — ran the ten-k to honor their late castmate Sam Gardiner, raising funds while keeping his memory alive. Sam’s mom, Jo Gardiner, described the day as deeply emotional, highlighting the enduring bond of the “Race Across the World” family. Beyond them, runners tackled the course for Alzheimer’s research, teachers rallied for therapy rooms at special schools, and crowds cheered on every step. It was more than a race — it was a celebration of resilience, community, and the extraordinary impact ordinary people can have when united for something greater.
