Alzheimer’s Society is proud to have been selected by AJ Bell as the official charity of the AJ Bell Great Run Series in 2026 and 2027. Together, we’re investing in a future without dementia. Together, we have dementia on the run.  

Dementia is the UK’s biggest killer. Its cruelty overwhelms those living with it. Its scale overwhelms the NHS, social care and the economy. Its complexity poses overwhelming challenges in how we research, diagnose and treat it. 

Alzheimer's Society is the only dementia charity doing everything it takes to beat dementia. Delivering vital support services, funding pioneering research and campaigning relentlessly for change.  

And we know that a better future is now within reach. We have access to two revolutionary new treatments that are proven to slow down the progression of Alzheimer's disease and we know that by 2050, there can be a world where dementia no longer shatters lives.  

Hope is on the horizon but to get there, we need everyone on the team. Because it will take a society to beat dementia.  

Pull on your trainers and join the race to beat the UK’s biggest killer. Run to end the devastation of dementia. Set up your fundraising page today.
