The Reading Half Marathon not only takes in the highlights of the centre of Reading where you will experience huge crowd support but also still passes through the beautiful grounds of the University campus. The race culminates in a finish rarely found outside an Olympic stadium with over 15,000 people cheering you into the stadium and over the finish line.
So whether you run for fun, run to stay fit, run for a club, or run professionally the Reading Half Marathon has the organisational capability, friendliness and reputation that are all second to none.
CICRA is dedicated to creating a wider understanding of Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis, collectively known as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), particularly as it affects children and young adults. We provide support and understanding for children and young people and their families. We raise funds to sponsor Research Fellowships and PhD studentships and give grants to support approved medical and scientific research projects in major gastroenterological centres nationwide. Investment in research has led to new treatments and has helped to train many of the specialists who today treat children throughout the UK.
