GoodGym Merton and Sustainable Merton have joined forces for the ultimate team effort! Whether you want to tackle your very first half marathon or chase a personal best with a true local purpose, we want you on our team for the Run South London Half Marathon on Sunday 14 March 2027. By training and running together in this exciting collaboration, every mile you log will directly support Sustainable Merton’s vital community-led climate action projects.

🎽 Two Options to Join Our Team:

Option 1: Need a Place? Run for Free!

Sustainable Merton will give you a FREE charity place (worth £59) in exchange for a minimum fundraising target of £150 to support local projects like Merton’s Community Fridge and Merton Garden Streets. Sign up to this session listing and then select the 'Charity place' option when completing the form.

Option 2: Already Registered?

If you've already purchased a place independently, you can upgrade your solo race and join our team with a reduced minimum fundraising target of just £100. Sign up to this session listing and then select the 'Own place' option on the form.
