A team of 50 runners raised more than £12,000 for a charity at a half marathon.

The group took part in the Oxford Half Marathon on Sunday, October 11, in support of The Mulberry Bush, a charity that exists to serve people whose lives are profoundly impacted by emotional pain in order that they can thrive.

Runners gathered at the race village before setting off, cheered on by the charity’s supporters at a dedicated cheer point.

Felicity Simmons, fundraising and events executive at The Mulberry Bush, said: "The Oxford Half Marathon was a wonderful day, filled with enthusiasm and support!

"We thoroughly enjoyed cheering and getting to know our runners, who we cannot thank them enough.

"Their hard work and dedication will contribute towards supporting all those affected by emotional pain, to support Change from Within in order that they can thrive in their lives."

The charity said the event is becoming a key part of its fundraising calendar, with growing support from the community each year.

In response to rising interest, it has increased its entry places to 80 for next year’s event.
