The Santa Dash finished 100K of racing in 2025 & the next challenge is 150K of racing in 2026. We'll ignore the fact that my right knee no longer works properly....

For the first half marathon of 2026 I'm raising money to support Edinburgh Leisure's Active Communities Programme. This programme removes barriers to better physical and mental health and works for everyone in our city. Active Communities have programmes supporting long term heart health: they bring people back to exercise after serious illness- such as heart attack or stroke- and provide activities to foster healthy ageing.

This is a fantastic local Charity and relies on the superb volunteers to make it happen. Your donations will help the cause and are appreciated.

thank you!Matt
