The Countdown to Blenheim 7K 2025 is On!

The One-Eighty team is ready to run!

We’re thrilled to announce that a team of around 20 runners will be taking part in this year’s Blenheim 7K -raising awareness and funds for Make Me Smile, our vital mental health project for young people.

Why We’re Running: Make Me Smile

This year’s run is all about Make Me Smile, a peer-to-peer mental health awareness project delivered to Year 6 students. Through creative activities and storytelling, the programme helps children understand and talk about their mental health, build resilience, and support one another in a safe, open environment.

After taking part, children are nominated to become Mental Health Ambassadors, leading sessions for younger pupils and creating a culture of support across their schools.

We want to bring Make Me Smile to every primary school in Oxfordshire and we need your help to do it.
