VSA are delighted to once again be represented at the UK's most popular Marathons this Spring, including the races at Brighton, London and Edinburgh!
Our six runners will join thousands of participants across the UK - and further afield - to take on the experience of running 26.2 miles and earn that all important medal!
Not only will our team set out to achieve something incredible, their fundraising in aid of VSA will play a vital part in changing the lives of vulnerable children and adults.
Our 2026 team:
- Sophie Reid (Brighton Marathon)
- Rachel Clews (London Marathon)
- Tori Anderson (London Marathon)
- Dave Anderson (London Marathon)
- Jamie Croan (London Marathon)
- Jordan MacLeod (Edinburgh Marathon)
How to follow VSA's Marathon team this April and May...
Our very own Sophie, who works for VSA as a Mental Health Support Worker, is taking on her first ever marathon!
"I've not been running for long but saw the Brighton Marathon as a motivator to become a bit healthier whilst also raising money for a vital cause, enabling VSA to continue to provide the support to our residents and better aid their recovery and independence."
Sophie added: "I would say I am most looking forward to pushing myself and taking on such a big challenge. I'm also looking forward to the atmosphere".
Rachel is also part of our staff here at VSA and is also taking on her very first Marathon.
Over the past few years, she has taken part in the Run Balmoral events for VSA and now is going for it - 26.2 miles in London!
"I am looking forward to the epic experience from the day itself, getting to the start line and taking each step on the course", she says. "I am also looking forward to high-fives with the crowd and getting over that finish line, thinking of all those that VSA support who benefit from our fundraising."
