Story

Join us on our journey to London 2018 by running, walking or jogging 26.2 miles earning a fabulous medal along the way.

How it works:

Step 1. Donate £10 (plus £1 for postage if you want medal sent to you) here.

Step 2. In your own time between donating and our marathon day 22nd April 2018 run, walk or jog 26.2 miles, keep a note manually or via an app such as Strava.

Step 3. Once you have completed the required mileage give us a shout and we will arrange delivery of your fabulous and well earned medal.

Step 4. Be happy and smug forever you did your body and mind a favour and helped the Donkeys!

Optional Step 5. We would appreciate it if you would take a selfie of you and your medal and share it with us including a wee note of how you went about totting up your 26.2 miles. We would love this to be a really inclusive and encouraging process - a good thang happening!

Some examples of ways to get involved:

One of our supporters and her daughter are earning their medals by running 1 mile 3 times a week together. This encourages fitness in her child and also creates some nice mother daughter time.

Lesley's parents are going all 21st century and have downloaded a very modern app. which they will start when they go out for their daily walk.

If you are in to parkrun doing just 9 will earn you your medal.

These are just some of the ways you can earn the marathon medal please feel free to do it your own way!
