PREM Rugby take on the Hackney Half 2026!
We’re the PREM Rugby team - running 13 miles not just for the challenge, but to support Mental Health UK - the official charity partner of the league. Rugby is a sport built on courage, teamwork and resilience, and through this partnership we’re redefining what bravery truly means. We believe bravery isn’t just about what happens on the field - it’s about starting the tough conversations, reaching out for support, and being there for one another in everyday life.
Our #BraveryStartsHere partnership brings together the power of rugby and the expertise of Mental Health UK to tackle the causes of poor mental health, remove barriers to support, and help people live their boldest, bravest lives. Together, we’re using the strength and solidarity of our rugby community to spark positive change, champion courage and create meaningful conversations that make a difference.
Why we’re running:
Mental Health UK is dedicated to providing vital support and resources to individuals and families affected by mental health challenges. They give people the tools they need to live well - at home, at school, and at work - and help tackle the systems and situations that hold people back.
Together, we can make a difference. Join us in fundraising for Mental Health UK and be a catalyst for change in the fight for mental wellness. Every donation - no matter how big or small - brings us one step closer to a world where mental health is treated with the same importance as physical health. Let’s turn awareness into action and create a brighter future for all.
