Challenge yourself
Support others
Do you fancy a personal challenge this year? ThinkForward are delighted to have three exciting challenge event opportunities in 2021.
By participating and fundraising on behalf of ThinkForward, you can ensure we remain by the side of young people during this critical period so they have the skills and experience that will enable them flourish when they leave school. We have multiple places in three events:
Hackney Half
26th September 2021
10 places, fundraising target: £300
Explore East London – Hackney’s running carnival shows off everything the borough has to offer, moving through the heart of one of London’s most diverse and most exciting areas.
London Marathon
3rd October 2021
10 virtual event places, fundraising target: £260
1 live event place, fundraising target: £2,600
The largest marathon ever, with 100,000 runners participating in both a live race through London as well as participants ‘doing it their own way’ by running the marathon in their own community which will be virtually tracked in the same way.
Royal Parks Half Marathon
London’s most beautiful run – through four of London’s Royal Parks and past some of the city’s most famous landmarks.
