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 2024 we attended over 2,200 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!

 

Got your own place?

If you already have your place in the run and want to fundraise for us, let us know and we will get your fundraising pack on its way to you. 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 donation counts and we appreciate every penny.

If you have any questions please send an email to our events manager, Charlie Rowen – charlie.rowen@gwaac.com

What you can expect from us:

  • Your own fundraising pack full of tips and ideas to help you raise money
  • Your own GWAAC running vest
  • An invite to a bespoke tour of our Base with the other GWAAC runners
  • VIP treatment at our event village table 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!

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