Introducing The School Run.

The School Run is a 200-mile charity run from Devon to London, raising £50,000 each for Magic Breakfast and the Oppidan Foundation. Organised and run by the Oppidan Education team, the route starts from our furthest partner school in Devon and ends three days later at Oppidan HQ in Hammersmith, West London.

Charity partners

Magic Breakfast makes a difference to over 300,000 children and young people every day by offering breakfasts and expert advice to tackle morning hunger in schools across England and Scotland. We exist to ensure no child or young person is too hungry to learn. 

The Oppidan Foundation manages and grants funds to support state-funded UK schools with mentoring programmes. They support schools that are interested in promoting character development in their students.

The route

Runners from the Oppidan team, will run in relay over three days, starting at our furthest partner school and ending up at Oppidan HQ three days later. 

The route will take us across the whole of southern England from the coastal paths of Dorset to the winding lanes of Wiltshire, all the way along the Thames to the Oppidan HQ by the famous Hammersmith Bridge.

Why are we doing this?

Oppidan Education runs mentoring programmes around the world, but we want to do more, especially for students in underserved settings. 

Working with Magic Breakfast allows us to combine two areas of educational critical need, providing students with the right start to the day and the right mentor to guide them all the way through it.
