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.
Hackney Half
17 May 2020
Fundraising target: £300
Explore East London – Hackney’s running carnival shows off everything the borough has to offer, moving through the heart of one of London’s most diverse and most exciting areas.
Beginning and ending on the Hackney Marshes, you’ll pass through Mare Street, Broadway Market, and Victoria Park. With music and support all along the route, Homerton, Dalston, and Hackney Wick transform into a fitness festival.
Our CEO Ashley McCaul is leading by example and running for ThinkForward. She’ll be there to egg you on, and (possibly) beat your time.
Royal Parks Half Marathon
