Samarathon 2022

July heralds the start of SAMARATHON, our annual national event to raise awareness of Samaritans, to motivate people to get outside and of course to raise some funds. Remember, every £5 raised enables us to take another call.

What is Samarathon? Cover a Marathon distance (26.2 miles) at your own pace, in your own time and in your own way. Ask your friends & family to join in. Walk or jog, swim or kayak, cycle or a mix of all, 26.2 miles spread across the whole of July to help Samaritans save lives. With a free T-shirt for everyone who signs up to fundraise and with a unique Samarathon fundraising page for every branch, and every person, there are so many reasons to be excited! Register here
