Why run for Age Scotland?

Age Scotland is the Scottish charity for older people. Many older people in Scotland are lonely, are financially insecure, live in inadequate housing, and experience fuel poverty. They have poor access to the health and social care support they need and don’t feel valued by society.

By taking part in the London Marathon and fundraising for Age Scotland, you can help us provide vital support, advice and friendship to older people across Scotland.

Going the extra mile

Every runner has a personal motivation behind their marathon journey. Andy ran the 2026 London Marathon for Age Scotland and shares his story and top tips here.

Age Scotland is an amazing charity close to my heart, and not enough is done to support elderly people and their families through some of the hardest of times.
