Pink Runner Happy Days Marathon

Campaign by Happy Days UK

Halifax's Iconic Mush (a.k.a the Pink Runner) is running a special route he has made around Calderdale on 29th August 2026, to raise money for Happy Days.

Happy Days supports and empowers people who are homeless or in crisis to live independent and purposeful lives by helping them to access the advice and services they need to bring about sustainable change. We do this by providing a wide range of services including an engagement service which connects people with the specific support they need. We listen to each person individually and create a plan specifically designed to help that person; we gain trust and build real relationships in order to help people. Happy Days meets the growing demands of those struggling to cope with the cost of living crisis by operating a broad range of services that tackle homelessness and food poverty. These include The Winter Shelter, Halifax Community Supermarket and The Community Café at The Gathering Place. For single adults who are homeless, the charity operates supported accommodation and services that are designed to help residents move on and live independently. This may include support to overcome addiction, skills to sustain employment and tenancy and specialist input for mental health and trauma. Our vision is to be a leading and highly valued provider of services to people who are homeless or in crisis.

Story

Halifax’s iconic Mush, The Pink Runner, is taking on an incredible 26-mile challenge in support of Happy Days, setting off from Illingworth Morrisons and finishing at The Gathering Place!

If you spot Mush out on his run, be sure to give him a beep, a wave, or some words of encouragement along the way. Most importantly, please donate whatever you can to help support the vital work we do for people experiencing homelessness across Calderdale.

Every donation will help us continue providing essential support, advice, and practical help to those who need it most. Your generosity can make a real difference to the lives of vulnerable people in our community.

Thank you to Mush for taking on this amazing challenge and to everyone supporting him along the way!
