Marathons and fundraising events
Thanks to the help and support we get from you, we can provide practical services to help older people every day.
Take part in planned events, national events, WRVS events and local events and raise money to help make Britain a great place to grow old.
If you have a place in an event, such as the Great North Run, the Great South Run, or any marathon, half marathon or other races around the UK, please consider running for WRVS.
We’ll give you a free WRVS running vest, support and motivation through your training, and help with your fundraising. Please contact the fundraising team
The London Marathon is the largest annual fundraising event on the planet ... Why not run for us? We have guaranteed places available.
