The Meningitis Trust
If you’re a veteran marathon runner you’ll already be familiar with the unforgettable thrill of pounding the streets of the UK accompanied by thousands of runners.
But if you’re just starting your journey, and would like to take the first step towards your marathon we have a number of other races available of varying distance. All levels of ability are welcome to join us. We offer great support with fitness preparation, fundraising and a personalised running vest. At some of our UK events we also offer a post-event team celebratory meal and leg massage.
The Meningitis Trust is able to offer a limited number of guaranteed places in the British London 10K, Great North Run, Silverstone Half Marathon and the Bupa London 10000!
Why run for us?
Meningitis is a disease that can strike quickly and kill within hours. Six people a day get meningitis in the UK. The Meningitis Trust supports those who face life after meningitis, providing them with the support they desperately need. We are the only organisation in the UK that focuses on support after meningitis, and we are also dedicated to raising awareness and funding research into it’s long-term impact.
Without your support we would not exist. We rely on voluntary donations to continue our work, raising £8,220 every day - £3 million a year.
Help us to support these individuals and families and we will provide you with the support YOU need every step of the way, from training to fundraising. So please, join our 2012 running team and we promise to make your running experience the best ever!
