Marathon in May - your pace, your way

Complete 26.2 miles over 31 days - less than a mile a day - and help PACT change the lives of children, young people, women and families.

Run, walk, hike, cycle, wheel, with children, with your dog, with friends or on your own. Go as fast or as slow as you like; it's your challenge, your way.

There are four categories this year...

Marathon in May - our much loved challenge returns, where we ask you to complete the distance of a marathon over the month of May!

Mini Marathon in May - this is for children under 16 to take part in and the goal is to cover 10 miles in the month of May.

Marathon in May ULTRA  - this is for those who want to push themselves harder and further! There is no limit to the miles you can clock up in May - see if you can come out on top!

Walkiethon - bring your four-legged friends along for the challenge too!

This year the challenge is free to join! But we encourage you to make a donation or raise sponsorship, then every mile you cover will be helping the families, women and children PACT supports every day through adoption services, therapeutic support, our women's community project Alana House and our domestic abuse recovery programme Bounce Back 4 Kids.

Everyone taking part will receive an exclusive Marathon in May digital certificate and those who raise or donate more than £26 - the equivalent of just £1 per mile - will get a Marathon in May medal!

Additional medals for participating pets and children can be purchased if required.

If you would like to take part as a school, or a guide or scout group, please contact [email protected] to find out about our tailored packages.

Register today, share the challenge with friends and family, and get ready to do your Marathon in May!
