Sign up for the 2026 Potters ’Arf and use your place to raise funds for patients and their families at University Hospitals of North Midlands and County Hospital.
Take on the Potters ’Arf for UHNM Charity
Entries are open for the 2026 Potters ’Arf, and we’re calling on runners, walkers and relay teams to support UHNM Charity.
The popular Stoke-on-Trent event returns on Sunday 4 October 2026. Participants will take on the city’s challenging 21.1 km route, including the famous Heartbreak Hill, before crossing the finish line in Hanley city centre.
You can enter the half marathon, half marathon walk or team relay, giving you several ways to take part and support your local hospitals.
Every pound you raise for UHNM Charity can help provide added support, equipment and improvements for patients, their families and NHS staff at Royal Stoke University Hospital and County Hospital in Stafford.
How to take part
First, book your place through the official Potters ’Arf website.
Once you have entered, register your fundraising with UHNM Charity. Our team will then know that you are taking part for us and can support you with your fundraising.
You can take part by yourself, join with friends and family or enter a relay team with colleagues. You can also choose to support an area of our hospitals that means something to you.
Already have your place?
If you have already entered the Potters ’Arf, you can still register to raise funds for UHNM Charity. Tell us about your challenge and start planning your fundraising today.
