Run for City Year UK City Year has a variety of different running challenges that you can take part in. You can choose to do a 10k run, a half marathon, or a full marathon. This is your opportunity to push yourself to reach a goal, whilst raising funds for a charity that makes a real difference to the lives of over 13,000 young people in the UK. “City Year’s helped me with my work and with my friend problems. I have so much fun with them in after-school clubs. If there could be a City Year forever, I would be so happy.” - Year 3 pupil, Hackney East London. Why run for City Year UK? By harnessing the power of young people, and fostering a culture of voluntary service, City Year tackles two of the biggest issues affecting young people today: under-achievement of children from deprived backgrounds and youth unemployment. City Year utilises the passion of young people, empowering them to be “the change they wish to see in the world”. Volunteering in schools they transform themselves and the children they mentor, tutor and coach. More than 9 in 10 of City Year’s 2013 alumni have now progressed into further education, employment or training. In addition to this more than 90% of pupils said that corps members helped with their learning. By running for City Year, you can help us continue to make a difference to the lives of pupils and young people across our cities
