• Our Bolton NHS Charity share local events to inspire people in Bolton to raise funds
• The charity goes over and above core funding to make a positive difference to healthcare in Bolton
• Events include community run events, marathons and the infamous Tough Mudder

The team at Our Bolton NHS Charity are sharing local events to inspire people in Bolton to raise funds for patients, service-users and families who are receiving NHS care or treatment at Royal Bolton Hospital and in the community.

As the official charity of Bolton NHS Foundation Trust, Our Bolton NHS Charity goes over and above core government funding to make a positive and sustainable difference to healthcare in Bolton, whether that’s investment in equipment that excels, facilities that soothe or moments that matter.

Here are some of the events you can take part in whilst raising money to make a difference:

• Sunday 1 March: The inaugural X Miles Bolton Half Marathon and 10k.
• Sunday 19 April: Manchester Marathon. The event is now closed for applications, but if you’re taking part, why not use the challenge to raise money for Our Bolton NHS Charity?
• Sunday 31 May: The Great Manchester Run in Manchester city centre, which includes both a 10k and half marathon course.
• Friday 5 June: Night Run Bolton returns and offers both a 5k and 10k route.
• Sunday 7 June: Bolton’s epic IRONMAN 70.3 returns. This year’s event is sold out, but if you’re already signed up you could set yourself the added challenge of raising vital funds for Our Bolton NHS Charity.
• Sunday 4 October: Manchester Half.
• Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 October: Tough Mudder in Manchester with routes for kids, a 5k and a 15k. Entry ticket prices increase from 31 January.
