Take on 26.2 miles during the month of May, whilst raising funds to ensure specialised bereavement support is in place for our bereaved military children and young people.

Walk, run, jog, or complete it in any way that works for you. Do it in one day, in two halves, or complete the miles across the whole month of May. Get the whole family involved, rope your work colleagues into a lunchtime stroll, or use it as a bit of 'me time' - Complete the challenge your way - all we ask is you have fun!

Log your miles, raise vital funds and we'll send you a small Scotty surprise to celebrate your achievement!

What are you waiting for?

Here's how it works:

1. Click here to create your fundraising page
2. Update your page to let people know: why you are taking part in the event and supporting Scotty's, how you plan to complete the distance, when you will be completing your challenge.
3. Share your fundraising page link on social media and ask friends and family to sponsor you, or encourage them to sign up too (there's nothing like a bit of friendly competition or group participation to spur action!)? Please tag Scotty’s Little Soldiers (on Facebook, Linkedin, Instagram, TikTok) or @CorporalScotty on X and use the hashtag #MayMarathon when sharing online.
4. Run, Jog or Walk your way through the 26.2 miles
5. Thank your donors publicly as a great way to drive more donations to the cause from others.

The record for fastest May Marathon completion is currently held by Mat Poole when he was working for Cisco who started at midnight and was complete by 0500!

One of Scotty's members and their mum walked a little every day, spending time connecting and remembering their Hero.

However you choose to take part, thank you for getting involved!
