We are proud and excited to bring you the 41st Annual Bracknell Samaritans Run on Saturday 24 June 2023. Once again, this wonderful running event will be held at Easthampstead Park Community School.
The Bracknell Samaritans Run is a very popular & fun running event for the local community (sold out in 2019!), open to the whole family. Additionally, it is the key fundraising event for our local Samaritans branch, based in Bracknell.
Whilst Samaritans is a nationwide charity with more than 200 branches and locations across the UK and Ireland. Many of those, including our Bracknell Samaritans branch, are independent charities in their own right; fully run by volunteers and entirely dependent on charitable donations to keep doing what we do.
The Bracknell, Wokingham, Ascot & District Samaritans Branch organises the Bracknell Samaritans Run for the local community every year and all profits raised directly benefit our local branch.
Did you know:
- Samaritans of Bracknell, Ascot, Wokingham & districts are fully self-funded and run 100% by volunteers
- It costs around £25,000 each year to keep operating
- In 2018 we answered 15,231 calls
- We listened to our callers for 3728 hours

Why we need your help
Samaritans work together to make sure fewer people die by suicide.
Every six seconds, Samaritans respond to a call for help. No judgement. No pressure. Samaritans are here for anyone who needs someone. Each day around 16 people take their life in the UK and Ireland. In the next hour, Samaritans will receive 600 calls for help.
Samaritans offer a confidential listening service to those having thoughts of distress or despair, including those which may lead to suicide. Our local Samaritans branch, based in Bracknell, offers support to our callers 365 days per year.

See below or check our Facebook page for just some of the fantastic feedback we have received after the 2019 Bracknell Samaritans Run.
Really lovely event with an interesting course, fun atmosphere and lots of friendly marshals. The course had a few sharp turns but this wasn't an issue as signage was clear and there was always a marshal there with directions. Plenty of water stations too. Would definitely recommend.
Excellent family event, nice course(s) and well organised. This was the first time I have done the Samaritans Run. I was pleasantly surprised how good it was. I would DEFINITELY do it again. Car parking - excellent, chip timing, lots of friendly marshals, good course with drink stations, well signed, nice medal - all good! Great for families (children's teddy bear race). It was really fantastic - well done to the organisers and volunteers for putting on such a friendly event!"
