Take on 26.2 miles during the month of May, whilst raising funds to ensure specialised bereavement support is in place for our bereaved military children and young people.

Walk, run, jog, or complete it in any way that works for you. Do it in one day, in two halves, or complete the miles across the whole month of May. Get the whole family involved, rope your work colleagues into a lunchtime stroll, or use it as a bit of 'me time' - Complete the challenge your way - all we ask is you have fun!

Once you raise over £50, we'll send you an exclusive pair of Scotty's Little Soldiers laces to provide an extra bit of motivation and jazz up your fancy footwear and a Scotty's running vest or t-shirt - it's your choice.

Log your miles, and we'll send you one of our fabulous May Marathon medals to celebrate your completion of the challenge.

What you need to know:

Even if you don’t feel in a position to ask for donations, you can still get involved, have fun and keep active. In the past, some people have popped a small donation on to their own fundraising page as a contribution, and inspired others to join them on the challenge.

If you’re still keen to fundraise but struggling to get sponsorship, why not take a look at our digital supporter pack which is full of tips and information.
