About
The University has 90 charity places for members of our University community to run in the ABP Southampton Marathon on Sunday 6 April 2025. Whether you are interested in running 5k, 10k, half or full marathon, register your interest today and raise money for one of the University’s priority funds:
- The Ignite Programme – you will be helping to support a disadvantaged student throughout their degree, to ensure they get the most out of their time at Southampton and secure a bright career and future for themselves.
- The Cancer Immunology Fund – you will be helping to support life-saving cancer immunology research at the University’s Centre for Cancer Immunology.
You can choose to run any distance, but you must raise a minimum of £150 to be eligible for a place.
“I strongly believe that every underrepresented student at Southampton should have the best chance to overcome the barriers they face and build the bright future they deserve regardless of their background. My next goal is to complete a half marathon, and I’m excited to see how far I can push myself. The biggest lesson I’ve taken away is: “Don’t put limits on yourself.” I never thought I’d enjoy running so much, and I believe that’s what our Ignite Programme can do for our students—create unlimited possibilities from limited conditions.” – Yilin Lyu, ABP Southampton 10K finisher 2024
