A JOURNEY WITH ROOM FOR YOU

RELAY was never meant to belong only to us.

A few shared miles, a conversation or a familiar face along the way can all be part of it.

You’re welcome to tell us what feels manageable for you.

The hardest part of running is putting your shoes on.

FIND YOUR WAY IN

There’s more than one way to be part of RELAY.

These are the options we’re working towards. Distances and availability will depend on the arrangements for each section.

TAKE PART

Short section

A little of the journey.

For people who want to be part of RELAY without taking on a long distance.

TAKE PART

Longer section

More miles, shared.

For runners or walkers who are comfortable covering more distance. We’ll confirm what each section involves.

TAKE PART

Full running day

A day along the way.

Potentially around the normal daily relay distance, subject to the route, timings and safety requirements.

TAKE PART

Support / community presence

Being there counts.

Meet us, cheer, walk briefly where practical, help with support or spread the message. You don’t have to run a full section.

FROM “I’D LOVE TO” TO “I’M HERE”

A few simple steps.

Interest first. Details next. A confirmed place only once the arrangements work for everyone.

STEP 01

Register interest

Tell us roughly where and how you’d like to take part. It’s fine if you’re still deciding.

STEP 02

Find a section

Once joining sections and dates are confirmed, we’ll look for a suitable option for you.

STEP 03

Get the details

We’ll share the meeting point, timing, distance, practical information and what to bring.

STEP 04

Join RELAY

Meet us and become part of that day’s journey.

STEP 05

Pass it on

Carry the message beyond the miles. Reach out, accept support and reach back.

LET YOUR MILES GO FURTHER

Want to turn your miles into something more?

People joining RELAY may also be able to raise funds for Samaritans through JustGiving.

The official RELAY JustGiving fundraiser is live. We’re still confirming how participant fundraising pages can connect to the campaign. Any charitable donations are kept separate from support for our travel or challenge costs.

A LITTLE PLANNING. A BETTER DAY.

Come prepared. We’ll keep you informed.

Here’s what to consider before choosing a section.

Know the plan

You’ll receive route and timing information in advance, including where to meet and what the section involves.

Join where it works

We’ll only offer sections where joining is practical and safe. Availability will depend on the route and the day’s arrangements.

Choose a distance you’re prepared for

You remain responsible for being physically prepared for the distance you choose. There’s no need to take on more than feels right for you.

Leave room for change

Road and path conditions, weather and day-to-day logistics may mean plans have to change.

Clear details before you commit

Exact participation rules and arrangements will be confirmed closer to the challenge, before you decide whether to take part.

LET’S FIND YOUR PART OF THE JOURNEY

Register your interest.

Tell us roughly where you are and what you have in mind. You don’t need to have it all worked out.

Registering interest does not commit you to taking part. We’ll contact you when route sections and dates are confirmed.

This is an interest list, not a booking or a confirmed place.

Only your name, email and permission to contact you are required.

We do not sell your personal information. We use the details you provide to respond to your enquiry and manage your request. See our Privacy Policy for more information.

Please don’t include medical details or other sensitive information.

THE MESSAGE WE CARRY

Carry it forward.

The message doesn’t stop when your section ends.

THERE’S ROOM FOR YOU

Maybe one of these miles is yours.
