Join thousands of others running 100 miles over 31 days in March to support children and young people with cancer.

The Reading Half Marathon is a fast, flat course with an exciting route that passes through the historic university campus and finishes at the Reading Football Club Stadium. Known for its enthusiastic crowds, volunteers, and live entertainment, the event creates an electric atmosphere.
Whether you are a novice runner or a competitive athlete aiming for a personal best, this event is an ideal selection.
Join Team Young Lives at this Reading half marathon and help support children and young people facing cancer.
Registration fee: £25
Minimum fundraising target: £250
Every £60 you raise could pay for a family to stay overnight in one of Young Lives vs Cancer’s Homes from Home, providing free self-catering accommodation near to specialist children’s cancer treatment centres, which are often many miles from a family’s own home. Staying in a Home from Home ensures a family can be close to their child during treatment.
We love our runners, and we want them to have an awesome experience! Some of the benefits of joining our team are:
When a child is diagnosed with cancer it threatens everything, for them and their family.
At a time when they should be busy being children, enjoying their rollercoaster teenage years or finding their feet at uni, life becomes full of fear. Fear of treatment, but also of families being torn apart, of overwhelming money worries, mental health stretched to breaking point, of having nowhere to turn, no one to talk to.
At Young Lives vs Cancer, we get that. We are the charity that helps children and young people and their families find the strength to face whatever cancer throws at them. But every day 12 more children and young people hear the devastating news they have cancer. We’ll face it all together – but we can’t do it without you.
