We are challenging your school or group to cover the distance of a marathon - a whole 26.2 miles - in any way you choose. This can be done in a day or over a period of time or in a single day.

How do I take part?

It couldn't be easier to register your school or group to take part in the Kick Asthma mini-marathon.

We are also able to send you materials such as balloons, collection tins and ribbons for finishing lines to help you create a memorable event.

Why do we need your help?

With over 1 million children living with asthma, it is the most common long-term condition affecting children in the UK. Shockingly, over a third of children with asthma report that they can be left out of sport due to their symptoms.

By signing up the Kick Asthma mini-marathon you can help to change these statistics and improve the lives of everyone living with asthma by helping to fund our vital services including our expert adviceline and our groundbreaking medical research.
