Story

This multi-award-winning half marathon offers fantastic scenery and an amazing atmosphere. With a fully closed route, the single-lap course takes in a combination of beautiful Surrey countryside and country lanes - a picturesque treat for runners made even better by the local supporters along the way. There's something for every ability - you can choose to run 5K, 10K or even a half marathon.

By running with Tearfund on 15 September 2019, you'll be changing the lives of people living in desperate need - like Ruth from Nigeria.

Ruth's children used to beg for food. It broke her heart. 'Everything seemed hopeless,' she says. But then Ruth attended a course run by her church, where she was taught better farming methods. Now she can feed her family, and is saving up money so that her children can go to school. 'Everything has changed,' says Ruth. 'It's so exciting! '

Every £360 raised could help five people like Ruth to receive training to feed and provide for their family. Read more of her story at www.tearfund.org/ruth
