Story

This year, we’re inviting you to be part of something bigger than just a race. By joining Team Youth Options, you’re not only taking on a personal challenge - you’re helping to change the lives of children and young people right here in your community.

Across Hampshire, too many young people are facing challenges like poor mental health, lack of safe spaces, and barriers to education. At Youth Options, we work every day to support them - providing somewhere safe to go, someone to talk to, and opportunities to build confidence, learn new skills, and move towards a better future.

Every pound you raise will go directly towards this support. That could mean funding a safe space for a young person who needs somewhere to belong, providing one-to-one mental health support, or helping someone re-engage with learning and gain qualifications.

Last year, our incredible runners raised over £6,000 — and this year, we want to go even further. With lower fundraising targets, it’s never been easier to get involved and make a real difference. Whether you walk, jog, or run, you’ll be part of a supportive community all working towards the same goal: helping young people thrive.

Together, we can make every mile matter.
