SHINE on Windsor
The Windsor Half Marathon is a fundraising institution here at SHINE – we have had participants running every year since 2005 and so far it’s raised more than £300,000 for SHINE. However this year it’s going to be bigger and better than ever before.
We have 33 people running for us on October 7th – a new record for us. We would like to thank all the runners for getting involved, including members of the SHINE staff, trustees, long standing supporters, and even friends of friends! All the money raised will go directly towards funding our projects targeting disadvantaged young people.

The Windsor Half Marathon is held in the beautiful setting of Windsor Park, a wonderful place to spend the afternoon helping a great cause.

"I've supported SHINE from its earliest days and in the last couple of years I've joined the SHINE on Windsor team to run the half-marathon. It's great fun - a really good day out."

"I've never been much of an athlete and I would never have done it if it wasn't for SHINE... We had some special tracks on our iPods to motivate us - think Tina Turner - and we kept each other going, doing little high fives every mile."
