Every Mile Matters, Every Smile Counts

At United Through Sport, we know that sport has the power to transform lives, creating opportunities for children and communities across the globe. That’s why we launched Miles for Smiles—a global initiative designed to raise vital funds for our life-changing programs and make a lasting impact. Whether you’re a current volunteer, past volunteer, or simply interested in supporting the charity, your efforts are deeply appreciated by our teams worldwide.

Join the Movement & Reach the Top!

Miles for Smiles is a global challenge where volunteers and supporters run to raise funds and awareness for United Through Sport. Whether you’re running during your trip, setting up a challenge at home, or gathering your old volunteer group for a reunion run, every mile brings smiles to children and communities who need it most.

How it Works:

  • Gather your team – The more, the merrier!
  • Set your challenge – Choose a collective distance and fundraising goal.
  • Make it exciting – Add a theme, get creative with costumes, or set a fun team challenge.
  • Fundraise for change – Every donation helps us transform lives through sport.
  • Enjoy the experience – Run together, have fun, feel proud, and leave a lasting impact!

Want to take on the challenge? Speak to your UTS coordinator or contact us to get started.
