Reading, Berkshire
The Reading Half Marathon not only takes in the highlights of the centre of Reading where you will experience huge crowd support but also still passes through the beautiful grounds of the University campus. The race culminates in a finish rarely found outside an Olympic stadium with over 15,000 people cheering you into the stadium and over the finish line.
So whether you run for fun, run to stay fit, run for a club, or run professionally the Reading Half Marathon has the organisational capability, friendliness and reputation that are all second to none.
Every step you take can change a life. Every mile you run can provide a lifeline. Join us for the Dementia Carers Respite Run for Charity and be part of a movement that offers hope, relief, and strength to families carrying the weight of dementia care.
Caring for a loved one with dementia is an act of profound love, but it can also be an unrelenting responsibility. The exhaustion, both physical and emotional, can be overwhelming. While existing dementia charities do a phenomenal job offering advice, guidance, and signposting to respite care providers, one glaring need remains unfulfilled: helping families afford this desperately needed respite.
Imagine being able to offer carers—those unsung heroes—a precious moment of rest. A moment to breathe, to recharge, to simply be themselves, knowing their loved one is in the safe hands of professional care. This is what Dementia Carers' Respite is all about. We are dedicated to closing the gap, funding families to access respite care so that carers can continue their vital role with renewed strength and resilience.
But we can’t do it alone. We need you!
By signing up for the Dementia Carers Respite Run events, you’re not just running—you’re fighting for the dignity of carers and the people they love. You’re giving families the gift of time, the chance to sustain their love and care without breaking under the weight of it.
Why run for us?
Because every step you take is a promise to a carer that they are not forgotten. Every mile is a step closer to ensuring they get the break they so deeply deserve. Every finish line crossed is a life changed.
And we’ve made this journey unforgettable by securing amazing and exciting venues for you to run in! These carefully chosen locations will inspire you as you make a difference. But remember, places are limited and will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. When they’re gone, they’re gone!
Run for them. Run for the carers. Run to give the gift of rest.
Sign up today for the Dementia Carers Respite Run for Charity events. Together, let’s make sure no carer feels alone, and no family has to choose between love and burnout. Let’s run for rest, renewal, and hope.
