Run for us in the Royal Parks Half Marathon 2020

Want to get fit and raise money for our vital services?
We have a few spaces to give out for this year's Royal Parks Half Marathon taking place on Sunday 11 October 2020 and would like people to get in touch if they are interested in running for us.
This stunning central London Half Marathon, takes in some of the capital's world-famous landmarks on closed roads, and four of London's eight Royal Parks - Hyde Park, The Green Park, St James's Park and Kensington Gardens.
Email us if you're interested in taking part and we can help you with training programmes and kit.
Every penny raised will help us carry out the essential services and activities we provide for older adults in Barnet. Two years ago our team of 8 raised £9,000 and last year our team of two runners, Fred and Ed (pictured below) raised nearly £2,000.
They all performed brilliantly and said that knowing they were raising money for such a good cause helped them through the difficult parts of the race - plus those early morning training sessions!
And if you need another reason to put on your trainers, research has shown that regular running at any age can reduce the risk of strokes and delay the onset of dementia.
