 Goldline Events, organisers of the Robin Hood Half Marathon Event (24th September) are delighted to announce that all previous years records have been broken in charity partnerships for 2023.  The community spirit and local support for the event was cited by many who made the 2023 Robin Hood Half Marathon a magnet for community and national charity participation from a diverse range of great causes.  From the hyper local to national charities with huge support, the Robin Hood Half Marathon stands out in its commitment and support both with direct teams and donation systems within the event itself.

Some charities still have places for anyone wanting to be a part of a tight knit team all the teams hope that the local community will turn out for a vocal support of both the sports runners and those who are raising money for local and national causes.
