My Story

Conor & Olly's First (and Possibly Last) Marathon(s)

Running for SSAFA – the Armed Forces charity

In 2026, we’ll be running the Manchester Marathon, then immediately setting off on foot to London, before finishing the whole thing off with the London Marathon.

That’s right — we’ve never run a marathon before… so we thought:

Why not run across the country and finish with another one?

That’s approximately 300miles of running, and we’ve got no idea what we’re doing — but we are doing it for an amazing cause: SSAFA, who provide vital support to veterans, serving personnel, and their families.

It's going to be painful, emotional, and probably involve a lot of wrong turns, crying and blisters. But it’s worth every step if we can raise money and awareness for SSAFA.

Please support us however you can — donate, share, laugh at us, or all three.
