TOGETHER WE CAN RUN THE WORLD_

Running may well be considered a solo sport, but as a running community, we feel strength in numbers and together we can get the younger generation motivated about exercise, running and develop a true passion for it.

We have experience working with partners from small businesses wishing to give back to their local communities to international super brand Nike. We can tailor a package to suit your needs and report back to you on how your support has made a difference to children across the UK.

✅ Magic 500 ✅
Ever wonder what a man that could run 500 marathons looks like? 🦸‍♂️
Look no further, we found him, and he is our Ambassador. The amazing @tango5tavy has completed marathon number 500 and yet again has pushed himself towards greatness.
As a children's physical activity charity, we are so proud to have ambassadors like Adam joining us in the fight against childhood obesity and leading the way by showing children what is truly possible when you put your mind towards a goal. ❤️
The timing could not be any more perfect as today we also share the date that he joined our charity as an Ambassador. Four years later and we could not be prouder of what Adam has achieved and we are so grateful for all of his support and the inspiration he has provided for our Marathon Kids 🏃‍♂️
Adam is currently competing in the Orta 10in10 and will begin day 3 of the challenge today. 💪

The Man ... The Myth ... and the Wizarding Legend that is Carl Orme has completed yet another marathon in aid of Marathon Kids UK.
Carl has now completed 9 marathons out of the 26, which he aims to complete by the end of 2022.
Today Carl took to the streets of London and ''flew'' by all of the historic sights in his Wizardly outfit.
Carl has also inspired children at our community sessions to get involved and dress up as their favourite Hogwarts character.
With 15 marathons to go we encourage you to consider supporting Carl with a donation, as every donation will actively make a difference to the health and well-being of our young Marathon Kids.

TIME TO ACT!
''This year we saw the biggest ever increase in childhood obesity: one in four Year 6s are now obese and rates of probable health disorders have gone up to one in six for 5-16 year-olds – all at a time when we have seen huge cuts to time on the curriculum for physical education and a decline in school sport, particularly in secondary schools. The evidence is unequivocal that children who are active every day are healthier, happier, more resilient and more trusting – surely this is what we want as a nation.'' - @youthsporttrust
At Marathon Kids UK we are proactively campaigning for change. Through our programme children of all ages and abilities can be walk and skip their way up to marathon distances using our digital tracking system while being rewarded along the way ❤️
