Training for a marathon is something remarkable in it’s own right. However, putting all those miles in while knowing that every step you take supports a worthy cause, makes that achievement just that bit more special.

Not only that, you’ll also receive perks such as discounted entry to make your marathon experience amazing.

Why they need our help?

A quote from one of our Official Charity Runners:

“My loving father sadly passed away from Alzheimer’s disease. After some careful thinking, I wanted to do something in dad’s memory and most importantly raise awareness and funds for any individual or family going through this too. This will be the first of hopefully many races for a special cause. Let’s do this!” – 2022 Alzheimer’s Society Runner
