Why run the Edinburgh Marathon for Children 1st?
Because every day, thousands of children across Scotland are abused, neglected and traumatised. We need your help to give them the happy, healthy, safe and secure childhood they deserve.
Lacing up your trainers for Children 1st means you’ll be helping us to provide support to children recovering from abuse and trauma, ensuring that children across Scotland are living in a safe and stable home, and allowing us to campaign to make Scotland a safer place for children to grow up.
Whatever your finish time, you’ll be a champion to children all across Scotland who need your help.
