North v South 2025

Matt Southworth

The Biggest Relay Race in the UK – North vs South

On 4 June 2025, Team North and Team South will set off on an extraordinary challenge—racing non-stop, day and night, for 3.5 days from Edinburgh to London. Each team consists of 200 runners, each tackling a half marathon, with one goal: to be the first team to reach London.

But this race is about more than just competition. We are running to support three incredible mental health charities, each making a life-changing impact.

Day 1: Maggie’s
Inspired by our friend Andy, who was diagnosed with incurable blood cancer in 2021, Maggie’s provided him with the vital support that helped him look beyond his diagnosis and continue living life to the fullest. Maggie’s offers this same unwavering care to thousands of people living with cancer and their loved ones across the UK

Andy will run the first leg of the race in Edinburgh, and throughout Day 1, we will share the stories of those whose lives Maggie’s has touched.

Day 2: Two Pints Deep
Founded by Luke, who was inspired after facing his own mental health struggles, Two Pints Deep is dedicated to men’s mental health and suicide prevention. Created by the average man, for the average man, this charity is about removing barriers, breaking stigmas and making support & connection available to everyone.

As we race through the North West, where Two Pints Deep was born, we will shine a light on its mission and the impact it has had.

Day 3: Ted Senior Foundation
Our final day is dedicated to the Ted Senior Foundation, a cause that has been at the heart of North vs South since its inception in 2019. Ted’s friends and family founded the charity after he tragically took his own life in 2018. Today, the foundation works tirelessly to support mental health awareness, suicide prevention, and grief support.

On Day 3, as we run through Monmouth—Ted’s hometown—we will share his story and the foundation’s vital work.

This is more than just a race. It’s a movement. Join us, support us, and help us make a difference.
