Beginner to half marathon

Sunday 5th Apr

On 24th May 2026, I’m running the Edinburgh Half Marathon for Parkinson’s UK.

It’s a cause that means a lot to me, as my papa is living with Parkinson’s, so I wanted to do something to support him and others affected.

I’m very new to running, so 13.1 miles will be a challenge (understatement), but I’m giving it a go.

Any support or encouragement would be really appreciated. Thanks 💙
