Alzheimer’s Society offers race places and support for charity runners
Alzheimer’s Society is encouraging people to run races and raise money for its work supporting people affected by dementia in the UK.
The charity says donations help provide information, practical advice and emotional support, as well as fund research.
It offers places at events including the London Marathon, the Manchester Marathon and shorter races around the UK.
People can also fundraise through an event they have entered themselves, from a 5K to an ultra-distance race.
Charity registration fees can be lower than standard entry fees, although runners have a fundraising target to meet.
The charity also provides a free training plan designed by professional coaches, with advice on areas including nutrition and recovery.
