Trees and buildings are visible in the background. Three happy marathon runners wearing race bibs (numbers 712, 724, and 763) pose in front of Tower Bridge in London. They are wearing blue shirts and have medals around their necks. The sky is cloudy, and other runners are visible in the background. A runner in a blue jersey proudly displays her medal at the finish line of a race. She is wearing a race bib with the number 1375, and it is evening with a dark sky and lit trees in the background. She is smiling and appears to be content with her achievement.

your support

Your support has never been more vital
One in four children in the UK experience poverty.

All children have big dreams. But not every child gets the opportunities they need to thrive in school.  Children experiencing poverty only have half the chance of fulfilling their potential at school than their wealthier classmates. You can change this by signing up and showing your support with Run the River. Help power the potential in our young people by fundraising or donating to support the children who need it the most. 

 With your help, we can ensure all children can have the future of their choice.
