Challenge yourself
Support others
Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or want to set yourself a new goal, we’d love to have you take on a challenge for ThinkForward and don our famous lightbulb yellow.
Take one of our places in the Hackney Half or the Royal Parks Half Marathon. We’re here to support with your training and help you smash your fundraising target. We’ll keep you motivated from your first training jog all the way to the finish line.
