Run Plymouth with Hearts Together 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

#RunWithHeart 

Funds raised through Run Plymouth will help Hearts Together continue to provide its hospital hotel, just minutes from Derriford Hospital, ensuring families can stay close to loved ones without the added stress of long journeys or unaffordable accommodation. The charity supports around 1,000 families a year and saves these families on average around £200,000 - £350,000 in comparison to if they had stayed at a budget hotel. Some families stay for weeks or even months at a time, with the longest individual stay in a single visit lasting 78 nights. On average, guests travel 109 miles to reach Hearts Together — a journey of more than two hours — with some travelling over 11 hours in 2024.

Whether you’re taking on the Half Marathon, 10K, or running event for the very first time, every mile you complete helps us continue providing more than just a place to stay for families facing difficult times.

Each year, our incredible runners, volunteers, and supporters come together to create an unforgettable atmosphere filled with encouragement, determination, and community spirit. By joining Team Hearts Together, you’ll receive reduced priced entry, fundraising support and encouragement from our team. No matter your running experience, we’d love to welcome you to the team.

Who you help

One family helped by Hearts Together is Simon and his wife, who were advised to stay close to Derriford Hospital while their daughter Olivia lay critically ill in a coma. Hearts Together provided them with a safe, welcoming place to stay nearby, allowing them to remain close without the added worry of cost or travel.

Stories like Simon and Olivia’s are made possible by donations and fundraising efforts — including events like Run Plymouth.
