Running for READ is a great win-win way of supporting READ whilst getting fit at the same time!

Over the past 6 years we have shipped an amazing 850,000 disused textbooks and educational resources to Tanzania and Uganda from schools across the UK. This summer we will send our millionth book to East Africa. Help us make this possible!

We have spaces in the following UK runs:

Join over 26,000 other runners on a great track through the heart of central London. Further to that, if you run the British 10K for us in 2011 we can guarantee you a place to run for us again in 2012 in which you will run along the same track being used for the Olympic Marathon, just 12 days before the Olympic Games! This will also coincide with the Queen's Diamond Jubilee - a unique opportunity you won't get another chance to seize within your lifetime!

The British 10k London Run 2011 takes place on Sunday 10th July 2011. If you would like to take part please click here or email louise.phillips@readinternational.org.uk.    

Join 12,500 others in running the beautiful Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon 'one of the most scenic city runs in the world'. Starting and finishing in Hyde Park, the beautiful 13.1 mile route races through four of London’s stunning Royal Parks (Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens, The Green Park and St James’s Park) and offers runners magnificent views of some of the capital’s most iconic landmarks, including Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament, the London Eye, Marble Arch and the Royal Albert Hall along the way.  

The Royal Parks Half Marathon 2011 takes place on Sunday 9th October 2011. If you would like to take part please click here or email louise.phillips@readinternational.org.uk.
