SPARKS runners and trekkers continue to contribute to our annual fundraising, by taking part in physical challenges such as the Flora London Marathon, Michelob Ultra London Triathlon and the ING New York Marathon, and other overseas events.

The perfect mini-break full of wine, cheese and fitness!
Banish those pre-winter blues and enjoy one of France’s most popular races. Set in the gorgeous Luberon Valley, the course snakes through the vineyards and picturesque villages with live music, fabulous food and wine tasting along the way as well as the more traditional water and energy bars!
With the finish set in a beautiful medieval castle surrounded by a Provencal market, it is no wonder that over 4000 runners take part each year. Runners have a choice between a full marathon, half marathon or 10k and any walkers can opt for either a 10k or 21k ‘gastro-walk’, with food and wine tasting every couple of kilometres. This really is a race with a difference, suitable for all abilities.
A two night bed and breakfast stay at the 3* Hotel Sevan, a VIP dinner and post race party is also included within this package. Travel NOT included.
Participants have two options for the Marathon de Provence Luberon Weekend:
Option A
• Participants pay exclusive rate of £150 to cover their costs
• Participants also commit to raise £150 in sponsorship for SPARKS*
*If the participant does not raise the £150 in sponsorship for SPARKS they will be expected to make up the shortfall.
Option B
• Participants pay exclusive rate of £150 to cover their costs
• If participants raise £500 or more they will get their £150 refunded back to them and a free helicopter flight over Luberon!
SPARKS will support you whichever option you choose.
