It started when Carl said he had an idea - 13 half marathons in 13 days. He wanted a like minded soul to join the challenge, so I/Dave joined in. Acknowledging the mental benefits of exercise, as well as physical, we agreed that Suffolk Mind would be an excellent charity to raise money for. It turned out that others are similarly minded, with Paul, Marcus, Mark, Ross and Brad also joining in the challenge, personalising it as needed. Others will be joining I am sure.

We start on Tues 15th Sept and finish at the Ipswich Half Marathon on Sunday 27th Sept 2026, taking in the Richard Bennett Felixstowe Coastal 10 on Sun 20th Sept (we will add on 3.1 miles before or after!). Some of the group have the Great North Run (half marathon) just two days before it kicks off as well!

Please note that this JustGiving page is set up for donations to all participants - 13 Half's, 1 Mind
