11 HALVES.1 MARATHON.
I’m Elliot and I’m running 11 half marathons in 11 months, finishing with the London Marathon in April 2027. I’m doing it all to raise money for Alzheimer’s Society.

Why I’m running
For my Grandmas and everyone affected by dementia.
In the space of six years, I lost both of my grandmothers to dementia. Nana Jean was sociable, outgoing and always planning a family adventure. Nana Marlene lived for everything equine and rode horses well into her eighties.
Over time, dementia took away some of the things that helped define them. It affected the whole family, including those who took on caring roles.
This challenge is for them, and for every person whose life has been, or is being, affected by dementia. I’m raising money for Alzheimer’s Society to support people living with dementia and the families around them.

The races so far.
01 / 06
Plymouth Half Marathon
Great course, even better crowd, but a horrible final kilometre, all uphill. Regardless, a great race to kick off the challenge!
Read the full reportBath Two Tunnels
A speedy 1:48:54 with 1.3 miles spent underground in disused railway tunnels. The cooler temperature inside was a welcome break from the mugginess outside.

Wye Valley Tunnel Run
Far too hot, a few muscles threatening to give up, but I survived and completed half number 3.
Read the full report
Tiverton Canal Canter
The smallest field so far, with about 80 runners in total. I wasn’t feeling my best in the lead-up, so it wasn’t the easiest of races.

Great North Run
Unexpected sunshine, more hills than I’d bargained for and a few minor disasters along the way. The incredible crowds helped get me to South Shields and over the finish line for half number 5!

Bournemouth Half Marathon
Cooler weather, a mainly flat course and brilliant support made this a much more enjoyable race. I felt good throughout and finished in 1:52:51, taking me past halfway with six halves complete!
