Every year, the Potters ’Arf Marathon brings together runners, walkers, relay teams, and families across Stoke-on-Trent to tackle the iconic 13.1-mile course — famously featuring the formidable “Heartbreak Hill” — and finish with a triumphant sprint through the city centre, cheered on by the local community.

As this year marks the 20th anniversary of the event, we’re asking you to go beyond your personal best — and make your miles count for Dougie Mac.

Every stride you take, whether solo, with friends, or alongside your kids in the junior races, turns into vital support for adults, young adults, and children facing life-limiting illness.
