Could you run to help families in need?

2025 Reading Half team before the race

We're looking for people to run the Green Park Reading Half Marathon and Mini Marathon on 22 March 2026, to support our work with local families going through difficult times.

If you sign up to run Reading Half through us you'll get:

- free entry (a saving of around £50)
- a breathable recycled PET running vest
- running coaching and encouragement

We'd just ask you to raise at least £50 in donations - considerably less than most charities.

If running 13.1 miles sounds too daunting, how about the 3k Mini Marathon? That's open to anyone from age 4 and up (though under 11s must be accompanied by a responsible adult).

If you're interested, just email kathryn@home-start-reading.org.uk and she'll get in touch with all the details.

Thank you!
