Samarathon in Oxford

We’re excited to announce a new way to support Oxford Samaritans. A way to help our organisation, keep healthy and maintain social distancing guidance 

Samarathon is our ‘virtual marathon’. You don't need to be a pro-athlete to take part. You can run, jog or walk a marathon distance in your own time over the month of July.  

Samarathon helps to motivate more people to get active to improve their mental wellbeing, rather than focus on a single race that requires you to run 26.2 miles in one stretch. 

Participants can fundraise for the Oxford branch. The sign-up form asks if you wish to support a particular branch, you can then select ‘Oxford’.

You can see more detail or sign-up here for Samarathon. 

Don’t worry, there's plenty of time to complete your challenge in your own time.
