Sign up for the Yorkshire Marathon and 10 Mile events

Every stride you take will help us support older people in need here in York.

Rachel is returning for her third year and will be running the 10 Mile event as part of our Age UK York team. Every penny she raises stays right here in York and directly to our services supporting local older residents across York.

You can too and join Rachel and our team by completing our form below...

The difference you can make in your every step...

Every penny raised helps Age UK York to provide vital support to older people, their families and friends, each and every day in our local community.

We would love you to please get involved, enjoy a great challenge and raise vital funds for our charity's local work in York. Much like Rachel and other runners do including at this year's event.

Rachel's story:

"I hate the thought of some people having no human contact, especially when the elderly community so often need to bounce ideas off someone or talk things through."

Positively there is something I can do to help. I both volunteer and run for Age UK York. 

The races are great, they give me something to aim for, and even if I’m feeling unprepared on the day, the atmosphere is always great and carries you through to the end! Plus its always a great excuse to raise money for Age UK York!

The local work that Age UK York does is absolutely invaluable to our elderly community. 

Please do consider joining me, and others, in walking, jogging or running in this year’s Yorkshire Marathon or 10 Mile events. Thank you and hope to see you there!

If running isn’t your thing, there are other ways to support us. Why not join us at our cheer point?
