Run for a Reason. Change a Life.

On Sunday 14th June, 10 incredible runners are taking on the St Albans Half Marathon—from the 10K to the Half Marathon—not just for the challenge, but for a cause that truly matters.

They are running for Open Door.

Open Door is a community response to rough sleeping in St Albans. For over 30 years, we’ve stood alongside people facing homelessness and vulnerability, working in partnership with local organisations to provide vital support, funding, and volunteers.

But what we offer goes beyond practical help.

We offer kindness without judgement.

A listening ear when it’s needed most.

A sense of worth, dignity, and belonging.

Every step our runners take represents someone in our community who needs support. Every pound raised helps us continue to be there—for those with nowhere else to turn.

This is more than a race. It’s a chance to be part of something bigger.

Please support our runners if you can.

Together, we can empower lives beyond homelessness.
