Thinking about taking on your first half marathon in 2026? The Bath Half Marathon could be the perfect way to challenge yourself and make a meaningful difference for people affected by dementia.
ReMind UK is delighted to offer charity places in the 2026 Bath Half on Sunday 15th March, one of the UK’s most popular road races. Whether you’re new to running or have completed races before, this flat, traffic-free 13.1-mile course through the stunning streets of Bath is an achievable and rewarding goal.
Why run for ReMind UK?
Running for ReMind UK gives your half-marathon miles even greater purpose. Every step you take helps support vital dementia research, improve early diagnosis, and strengthen the post-diagnostic support that individuals and families rely on.
What You’ll Get as a Charity Runner
When you sign up to run the Bath Half for ReMind UK, you’ll receive:
A discounted race entry making it more affordable to take part.
A free ReMind UK running top to wear with pride on race day.
Guidance from a qualified trainer to help with your training.
Support in setting up and promoting your fundraising page so you can smash your fundraising goals with confidence.
All we ask in return is a fundraising pledge of £250, with all proceeds going directly towards supporting research, diagnosis, and care for people living with dementia.
There is a history of dementia on my Dad's side of the family, with dementia affecting several members of my family over the years. So the chance to raise money for ReMind UK to fight dementia by running for them was an obvious choice for me to help support the charity's great work and to make family members proud."
Training Designed for Everyone
You don’t need to be an experienced runner to take on the Bath Half. If you can already keep running for 20 – 30 minutes, a structured training plan can get you ready for the 13.1-mile challenge in a few months.
Signing up to run isn’t just about crossing a finish line, it’s about joining a community of runners who are also making a lasting impact in the fight against dementia.
