For some in post-16 education, every day can be a marathon, but they won’t be getting a medal or applause when they cross the finish line. Instead they will continue to be bullied, stressed, overworked, in debt or even worse. You can help support them by taking part in one of our running event in 2011.
We have guaranteed places in three major running events next year and we’d love to get you involved. As well as actually running for us there are lots of other ways to support us. You can help us to promote the events, tell us your views on our promotional campaign, help a colleague to run a fundraising event and of course make a donation to our runners.
Get Started:
- Tell us what your marathon is on Twitter @bewellworkwell, or tell us on Facebook.
- Keep reading or sign up for a challenge event now.

How we will support you
Once you have registered for the marathon we will provide you with lots of help and advice on how to make the most our of the experience.
Along with training plans and nutrition guides, we will send you a press release template to send out to your local papers, posters to help you promote any fundraising events you may want to run, a Facebook group where you will be able to chat to us and all the other runners taking part and of course a running vest for the day.
On the day of your run a team of us will be there to give you plenty of support and motivation, especially on those last tough miles! For more information about running places please contact Lucy Rowe on 020 6797 2764.
