Major running challenge for Down’ s Syndrome

» EPWIN WINDOW Systems’ QHSE Manager Tom Langford is taking on a series of demanding running events
throughout 2026 to raise funds for two charities close to his heart – Down’ s Syndrome UK( PADS) and the Down’ s Syndrome Association.
Tom, who recently joined Epwin Window Systems, is planning to complete a minimum of 20 running events this year, ranging from 10Ks and half marathons through to a full marathon and ultra-distance challenges.
The fundraising effort is inspired by Tom’ s daughter,
Poppy, who was born with Down’ s Syndrome and will soon celebrate her fourth birthday.
Tom’ s 2026 challenge begins with a demanding weekend in March that includes a 29-mile section of the RunAcrossUK relay between Congleton and Stafford on 21 March, followed the next day by the Ironbridge Half Marathon. He will also be running the London Landmarks Half Marathon in April, alongside numerous
additional races throughout the year.
Tom is aiming to raise more than £ 2,000 during 2026 to support the work of both charities, which provide guidance, resources and community support to thousands of families across the UK.
