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.
Doctors of the World UK is part of a global network of 17 Médecins du Monde partners; between us we are delivering over 400 projects in more than 70 countries. We help vulnerable people to access medical care – wherever and whoever they are. We work to respond to disasters and emergencies overseas, whilst also making sure that vulnerable people right here in the UK are receiving medical care and treatment via our CQC registered clinic, outreach teams and helpline. All delivered by our team of volunteer doctors and nurses supported by our expert staff. We are here to help everyone access medical care, and many of those we support in the UK are asylum seekers or refugees. Alongside this direct practical support, we campaign tirelessly to make changes to the systems that are preventing our clients from accessing the care they need.
