Take on the Aberdeen Half Marathon for NHS Grampian Charity, and give back to your local NHS.
Looking for a running challenge? We are excited to be a charity partner of the first Aberdeen Half Marathon.
This exciting new event takes place on Saturday 18th July 2026. Runners will set off from Aberdeen’s iconic Duthie Park and make their way along Riverside Drive to the Bridge of Dee. They will follow the River Dee along South Deeside Road, before returning to the park via Milltimber Bridge and the Deeside Way.
Standard spaces are now sold out, but NHS Grampian Charity has secured a limited number of charity spaces for supporters who would like to take part while raising funds for a hospital, ward, or medical condition close to their heart.
Every pound raised will help fund projects, equipment, research, and enhancements that go above and beyond core NHS services to help improve the health and wellbeing of people in hospitals and communities across Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and Moray.
Charity Spaces
We have a limited number of charity spaces available for this sold-out event.
In return for a place, we ask participants to commit to raising a minimum of £200 in sponsorship for NHS Grampian Charity. Our team are here to support you every step of the way with your fundraising.
Whether you’re running in memory of a loved one, to say thank you to NHS staff for the care you or your family have received, or simply to support your local NHS, we’d love to welcome you to our team.

As part of our team, you’ll receive:
- A guaranteed space in the sold-out Aberdeen Half Marathon;
