Bath Half Marathon 2023

We are excited to be back at the Bath Half Marathon, ready to welcome a new batch of running heroes into Team GWAAC! Whether you’re a regular runner looking for an event to focus your training, a finisher of many half marathons before, or even a first-time jogger wanting to take on a life-changing challenge, running the Bath Half Marathon with Team GWAAC is the way to go.

Why run for us?

Great Western Air Ambulance Charity is one of the busiest air ambulance services in the South West, serving a population of 2.1 million people. In 2020 we attended over 1,700 patients. By taking part in the iconic Bath Half Marathon, you will not only have an amazing race-day experience, you will also be supporting a local lifesaving service.

Our team of Critical Care Doctors and Specialist Paramedics are called to an average of five incidents a day, at least one of which will likely be a patient in cardiac arrest. From emergency caesareans to roadside amputations, blood transfusions to emergency anaesthetics, GWAAC’s crew bring the skill and equipment of the emergency department out to where it is most needed.

We are a charity funded by donations from the public. We receive no day to day government or national lottery funding. We couldn’t keep flying without people like you and without the ongoing support of the people we serve, so thank you!

Need a charity place?

As a one of the local Charity Partners, we have 30 entries available for the Bath Half Marathon. Our places are available for just £20 and a pledge to raise a minimum of £200.

You will receive:

• Entry into the 2023 Bath Half Marathon
• Your own fundraising pack full of tips and ideas to help you raise money.
• Your own GWAAC running vest.
• VIP treatment at our event village marquee with snacks, hot drinks as well as lots of encouragement and support from our events team!
• Feel proud knowing you are helping us be there for more people when they need us most!

To apply for a charity please CLICK HERE and complete the form, we will be notified and be in touch with further details

Got your own place?

We’d love to welcome you to our team! You’ll receive the same fantastic support as our charity place runners; the only difference is you won’t have a minimum fundraising target. We just ask that you raise as much money as you can.

We need your support to keep GWAAC flying, every donations counts and we appreciate every penny.

To run for GWAAC simply send an email to our Events Manager, Charlie Rowen,  to let her know that you have your own place and would like to run for us – charlie.rowen@gwaac.com

We look forward to seeing you on the start-line!
