Date: 26 April 2009
CONGRATULATIONS to all our runners for a fantastic race on Sunday 13th April. We enjoyed a wonderful day, watching you all pounding the streets for The Children's Society in order to help make childhood better for children in the UK!
With over 60 runners in our team this year, all working hard to raise much needed funds for The Children's Society, you have guaranteed to make a real difference to the lives of children who face danger or disadvantage in their daily lives; children who are unable to find the support they need anywhere else. Thank you for your support and hard work leading up to and on Marathon day!

What are we able to offer you?
For the past 4 years our marathon teams have raised over £400,000. This money makes a huge difference and in return we like to make sure your day is extra special. We have our own cheering post at the half way mark where we invite your friends and family to join us in supporting the team. We provide a comprehensive fundraising pack including details for setting up online giving. We host an after race reception in a unique venue where we provide massage and refreshments and an opportunity to meet The Children's Society staff.
We have a team of experts on hand everyday leading up to your big day who will support you in any way they can be it fundraising advice, motivational support or simply providing you with all the tools you need to make your journey a memorable one.
We hope you're able to join us!
