Run the Bath Half for mental health!
Bath Mind is thrilled to announce the launch of charity spaces for the Bath Half Marathon 2025. As one of the premier events in their fundraising calendar, the Bath Half Marathon plays a vital role in supporting Bath Mind’s local mental health services, ensuring support is there for those who need it.
Becki Fox, Fundraising Manager at Bath Mind, expressed her excitement about the event, stating, "The Bath Half is a highlight in our event calendar and as someone who has previously run it, I can honestly say it really is a special day for the whole city which brings the community together and creates a city-wide buzz. By choosing to run in aid of Bath Mind you will be raising funds for a local and independent mental health charity who supports thousands of people across Bath and North East Somerset by providing accessible and affordable mental health services and wellbeing activities."
Runners who sign up to run for Team Bath Mind will receive some great benefits, including a free Bath Mind running vest, an exclusive training plan, and support from Bath Mind’s dedicated running coach, Hannah Lees.
​
Hannah is an award-winning running coach, honoured as the England Athletics Run Leader of the Year in 2019. Based in Bath, she has supported more than 150 runners with their Bath Half training. Passionate about supporting people of all ages, sizes, and abilities, Hannah dedicates herself to helping individuals overcome self-doubt and achieve their running goals.
​
In addition to these benefits, each runner is asked to pledge to raise £250. In total, Bath Mind aims to raise £20,000 from this event. These funds will directly support their mental health services across Bath and North East Somerset, including evening crisis support, affordable counselling, weekly wellbeing groups, a befriending service, and much more.
​
Participants will also receive regular updates about the event and fundraising tips throughout the year, ensuring they are well-prepared for race day!
​
"We have an amazing fundraising support team and our very own running coach to help you on your journey right up to and including the day," added Becki Fox.
"We can’t wait to welcome you to Team Bath Mind so sign up to one of our charity places today by visiting our website or contacting our fundraising team at fundraising@bathmind.org.uk."
