Join us for Miles For Em 2026, a special day dedicated to celebrating Emily’s life, spirit, and the lasting impact she continues to have through The Emily Scarlett Foundation.
For those who may not know Emily’s story, Emily passed away in 2021 at just 3 years old. In her short life, she faced more than most of us ever will. She lived with epilepsy, cerebral palsy, and other complex conditions, and was tube-fed from an early age...but she was never defined by any of it.
Emily was love, sass, and sparkle all wrapped up into one little girl. She had the cheekiest, biggest personality that could light up an entire room. She loved Peppa Pig more than anything (seriously, if you stood in front of the TV while Peppa was on, you’d definitely know about it!), adored all things pink, loved getting her hair braided, and gave the very best cuddles...as long as they didn’t interrupt Peppa time, of course.
Following a fantastic result in last years event, this year marks an incredibly meaningful new chapter for us, as all funds raised from the event will go directly to supporting our very own charity, created in Emily’s name. Through The Emily Scarlett Foundation, we hope to continue helping children and families who need support, while keeping Emily’s kindness, strength, and spirit at the heart of everything we do.
Whether you’re an experienced runner, a casual walker, or simply looking to be part of something positive and inspiring, there’s a challenge for everyone:
- 5K Run or Walk
- 10K Run or Walk
- Half Marathon Run
So gather your friends, family, colleagues, or come along solo, DRESS UP IN PINK and be part of an unforgettable community event filled with support, encouragement, and purpose. Every mile completed helps us continue Emily’s legacy and make a real difference to others.
Keep your eyes peeled for training tips, prizes, walking challenges, and event updates over on our Instagram page in the lead-up to the big day. Don’t forget to share your training photos and tag us at @milesforem and @theemilyscarlettfoundation using #MilesForEm2026.
Thank you so much for being part of this journey. Whether you supported us last year or are joining for the very first time, we can’t wait to welcome you to Miles For Em 2026. Together, let’s move those miles and make them count.
