Forest YMCA has places available for the Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon in October.

Guaranteed places are allocated on a first come first served basis to those who can commit to a fundraising minimum for the event on October 6.

Runners who have secured a place in the ballot can still join the team, where there is no minimum amount to raise but you will still receive team benefits, including one month free gym membership at Forest YMCA, a training plan and a t-shirt.

By run for Forest YMCA people will be supporting them to provide hope and a home to some of London’s most vulnerable young people.

Registration forms can be found on the Forest YMCA website.
