Bristol Half Marathon

Join thousands of runners for the Great Bristol Run and make every mile matter.

This event is about more than running.

By running for RSF, you’ll help us support families where a parent is living with incurable cancer, and drive greater awareness and research into non-smoking lung cancer.

Support Families

Help provide emotional and practical guidance to parents living with incurable cancer, supporting them to prepare their children for the future.

Fund Research

Your fundraising drives research into non-smoking lung cancers, a disease that disproportionately affects women and younger people. 

Create Lasting Impact

Every mile you run helps ensure families facing a parent’s incurable cancer can access the support they need.
