Age UK Barnet big challenge! Four marathons in four weeks!

Join our team challenge to raise money for Barnet's older people by collectively running four marathons this September.

It doesn’t matter if you’ve never run before or if you’re an experienced runner, you can still get involved – and every mile you run counts towards our final goal of 104.8 miles, the equivalent of four marathons.

All you have to do is download the Strava running app on your smart phone and clock up your miles over the month of September 2020.

The idea is that we work as a team and watch those miles go up. And if you can get your friends and family to sponsor you for our joint challenge, that would be fantastic.

All the money raised will go towards helping the older people we support in Barnet. It has been a tough time for so many of our older friends who have been struggling with isolation and loneliness, and we are still supporting them with food parcels, meals, regular friendly chats over the phone and advice.

If you’d like to participate, please take a look at our activity pack where you’ll find details about how to download the app and join our Strava page plus how to fundraise for us.

You can encourage people to donate by sharing Age UK Barnet's 4 Marathons in 4 Weeks JustGiving page or you can set up your own JustGiving page if you want to know how much you've raised yourself.

We have lovely, friendly tech savvy volunteers to help people with any technical issues.

Please email karen.williamson@ageukbarnet.org.uk with any questions.
