Turn your miles into meaningful change
By running for us, you’ll not only be completing the 26.2 miles, you’ll also be making a direct impact on the lives of others. Every penny raised stays here in Cornwall, helping people who are struggling with their mental health.
What’s the fundraising commitment?
If you’re offered a Cornwall Mind place and you accept, there’s a £100 registration fee, which is non-refundable and non-transferable.
- Charity places are strictly limited and we kindly ask our runners to each fundraise a minimum of £2,500 (excluding Gift Aid). As a small charity we rely on our runners to each meet this pledge.
- We will also ask you to raise a full 50% – that’s £1,250 – by 31 January 2027. If you miss this deadline, we may offer your place to someone else on the shortlist.
I chose to run for Cornwall Mind in 2025 because I was lucky enough to have a Good For Age place and wanted to do something good with it. I’ve experienced mental health difficulties myself and know how important it is to be able to access support when you need it. With Cornwall Mind being local, they were a great choice to run for. Training for the London Marathon requires dedication and consistent training over months, but on the day and when you cross the finish line, you won’t regret a moment!
