Run for Refugee Action in 2012

There are opportunities to join the Great Manchester Run and Bath Half Marathon in 2012.

Charity places

We love Manchester, especially because we work in the area.
If you like it too, run, jog or walk for Refugee Action and raise desperately needed funds to support asylum seekers and refugees who have escaped persecution.

We’ve got 25 charity places in the Great Manchester Run 2012 on Sunday 20th May 2012 and 5 charity places in the Bath Half Marathon on 11 March 2012.

Please note that places are limited and are on a first come, first served basis so get registered today!

If you have your own place in either runs and want to join Refugee Action’s team, please contact Salma Mohamed on SalmaM@refugee-action.org.uk or 0845 894 2536.
