Robin Hood Half Marathon has announced its charity partners and urged runners to raise 'vital' funds. The organisers of September’s Robin Hood Marathon Events weekend have announced they are working with even more charities than ever this year.
Runners are being encouraged to run for one of the half marathon's fourteen charity partners. Judith Manson, Race Director for Goldline Events, said: “Charities are at the heart of the event and with more charities to choose from I am immensely proud of the work of our charity partners and look forward to supporting them on their journey.
“The 2023 event promises to be a special event for all involved – raising vital funds for communities across the UK, and returning stronger together from one of the most challenging times through the global pandemic. If you have already secured your place in one of the races and want to support one of these incredible charities please contact them via our website and help us make 2023 an event to remember.”
