Half Marathon Runners Wanted
Whether you're a finely tuned athlete or a first-timer we'd love you to run this year's EDF Birmingham Half Marathon in aid of your local hospice.
Birmingham St Mary’s is appealing to athletes across the City to run forthe charity which provides vital palliative care to people with life-limiting illnesses.
The EDF Birmingham Half Marathon takes place on Sunday, October 24, and the Hospice hopes scores, if not more, will support it when they don their trainers.
Hospice Head of Fundraising Caroline Taylor said running the half marathon was a great way to support the charity.
“We’re looking to put a large team of runners in to Birmingham Half Marathon, so I would like to appeal to anyone, whether they are a dedicated athlete or a first-timer, to run this event in aid of the Hospice.
“By helping raise funds for Birmingham St Mary’s you’ll be making a real difference to local people with a life-limiting illness and their families,” Caroline said.
