Take part in the Yorkshire Marathon with Team Whizz Kidz!
The Altra Yorkshire Marathon's scenic route and unreal support makes it standout event on the UK's running calendar. The historical city of York will be flooded with thousands of runners and spectators gathering for this incredible running festival.
Starting at the University of York, the route takes you outside the city's walls and into the beautiful countryside that surrounds York, as the route goes through Stockton-on-the-Forest and Buttercrambe Moor Wood, circling round to Balloon Tree Farm and looping back towards the city for a fabulous finish at the University Campus.

Your impact
The money you raise will help us reach even more young wheelchair users by funding mobility equipment, life skills training and opportunities for young people to reach their full potential.
- £110 could pay for additional parts to extend the life of a young person's wheelchair and 'grow' the equipment as a child's needs change.
- £209 could enable a young person to attend an activity session where they can make new friends and build their confidence.
- £347 could fund a child to attend a Wheelchair Skills Training session and develop vital skills to help them use their wheelchair safely and confidently.
- £1,300 could enable Whizz Kidz to provide for an adapted trike for a young wheelchair user, giving them a safe way to play and have fun with other children.
Join Team Whizz Kidz today, so we can reach even more young wheelchair users across the UK.

Join Team Whizz Kidz so more children like Darby can race in the park
Before his Whizz Kidz trike, Darby would get frustrated at not being able to keep up with his sister. As soon as he was in the trike, he was off! He and his sister now race each other in the park, and he feels like any other child having fun and making friends.
