Thank you to the ten inspiring runners who took on the 13.1 miles this year to raise money (over £4,000!) and awareness of The Carers' Centre, and also to everyone who sponsored their amazing achievement.
The Bath Half Marathon is one of the most popular sporting events in the UK and we’d love you to represent The Carers’ Centre in 2026. Join 15,000 other runners and follow a beautiful (and flat) course through the World Heritage City of Bath, along the River Avon and past The Carers’ Centre!
We have a 20 spaces available in 2026 and by taking part you’ll be helping to support and raise awareness of unpaid carers across Bath and North East Somerset. Following this year's success, we have a team target of £10,000 for 2026. So please sign up and help us recruit to the team!
We'll be there to advise and motivate you during your training, and be there on the day to cheer you on as you take on the challenge of the 13.1 mile course. We’ll also provide you with a super smart Carers’ Centre vest so everyone knows who you’re running for.
Fundraising
The Carers’ Centre provides free support to over 5,000 adult carers and over 700 young carers across Bath and North East Somerset. Our services include personalised support plans, free wellbeing activities, carer cafés, peer support groups, and a dedicated support line.
One in three people will become carers or will need to be cared for. As our population ages, demand for our services is growing year on year. Fundraising is crucial for us to continue to provide our free support to carers.
We’re asking runners to pledge to raise £500 each ahead of the Bath Half Marathon. We're hoping to recruit 20 runners to raise a joint total of £10,000 together.
The best way to raise that money is via The Carers' Centre Enthuse page. On that page people can find out more about The Carers’ Centre and the support we provide. You’ll also be able to update people on your training journey in the lead up to running the Bath Half in March.
For more information about fundraising, please contact Emma on fundraising@banescarerscentre.org.uk. Emma can help with support and ideas to help you reach your goal.
