I have chosen to support Street Child in 2026 by running ALL SIX of the SuperHalfs. I have run two of these events before; Cardiff and Valencia in 2025, but the others will be new courses and destinations for me. Last year, I watched some of my friends run the Sierra Leone Marathon for Street Child. Seeing the photos from behind the scenes and learning the stories behind the work of Street Child inspired me to support them too. My journey will start with Lisbon in March and end in October at Valencia.

Half marathons are my favourite distance, but I don't want to make this an easy challenge. I've spent 15 years chasing a sub 2:00 half marathon, which I finally achieved at Valencia, my last half of 2025, finishing in 1:58:34. My goal for 2026 is to complete ALL of these SuperHalfs in under two hours, including the two I am running back to back, Prague and Berlin, and I'd love for you to join in the fun. If you'd like to play along here is how;

1. Donate £9.00 (or more) today and write "Time Challenge" in the comments. Everyone who does this and doesn't use the anonymous donation button will get one ticket into the first draw. I can't track anonymous donors or even send a thank you email :c.

2. After each event, I will update the list below with the time I completed each SuperHalf in.

If I have completed the event in less than 2 hours you top up your donation by the min:sec under 2 hours and write "Time Challenge NAME OF SUPERHALF" in the comments. E.G. For Valencia 2025 my time was 1:58:34, so your additional donation would be £1.26, and your comment would be "Time Challenge Valencia".

If I go over the 2 hour time, I will time the additional distance by TEN and put the money in a pot that will be added to the final draw after the last race in October 2026. E.G. I ran Cardiff SuperHalf 2025 in 2:00:49, so £4.90 would go into the final draw pot.

3. One week after each event where I have achieved a sub 2:00 time I will put all additional donations (as noted in 2) into a draw for a small prize.

4. At the end of the year, everyone who has kept up with my journey and completed the additional donations will go into the final draw to win a Peloton jacket and any money from going over two hours.
