Why join Team Alzheimer's Society?

In return for running for us we will send you everything you need to ensure a great race experience. You'll get a fundraising guide, training tips and your very own running top to wear on the day. We will also have a marathon training day to get you ready and a post-race reception with hot food and massages after the run. If you have your own place in the race we do not have a sponsorship target, we just ask that you try and raise as much as you can.

We'd love you to join the Alzheimer's Society running team in the fight against dementia. With your help we can continue to support those with dementia and their carers.
