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.
St Rocco’s Hospice provides specialist care and support across Warrington, helping those who are coping with a life-limiting illness and their loved ones. It costs around £5.2 million each year to run the hospice – which means we need to raise £15,000 each and every day just to keep running. We are proud to be a Hospice without Walls offering care both in the Hospice building with our 10 bed in patient unit and Vitality Centre and out in the community with our Hospice at home service. In the Vitality Centre patients can receive physiotherapy and complementary therapy like reiki. We also have a family support team that are dedicated to helping those touched by terminal illness. All of these services focus on enabling people to live life to the full and are provided free to patients and their families, but we can only do this because of the generosity of the local community. We focus on the positives. Supporting patients physically, psychologically and emotionally to enable them to carry on living the lives they want to live for as long as possible. We aim to help them improve the quality of life for them and for their loved ones.
