You cannot apply to more than one charity at a time, but if you do change your mind while awaiting approval, you can cancel your application. We will then inform your chosen charity and they will be in touch with you directly to discuss fundraising etc. If you have purchased your Own Entry and would like to fundraise for a charity not listed on this website, you are welcome to do so however you would need to contact the charity directly to discuss fundraising etc.
Why run for charity? Your chosen charity will offer you fantastic support and encouragement with both your training and fundraising. Many charities are also present on race day to cheer you on and congratulate you beyond the finish line. Have you or a loved one been affected by a specific illness? Picking a cause close to your heart, gives you the drive and determination to dig in and do all your can to raise funds for that charity.
By choosing a charity to run for and asking your family and friends to support you, you will raise awareness for your charity and your cause. You never know, next year you might find you have company on the start line! Wear your charity vest with pride and enjoy the camaraderie amongst your fellow charity runners! On the day, you will be part of an elite group of people whose combined effort has raised a huge amount of money for one, or in some cases, thousands of charities.
Most charity events are full of colour, fun and emotion. The most important thing to remember on the day is that you are representing your charity, so make sure you do them proud.
Login Register Our Sister Websites:. Home Charity Running News What is a charity run? Some charities will also offer help to any friends and family who come to support you. They can give tips, such as where the best place to watch the action is, and provide them with clothing, flags, balloons — anything that helps promote the charity and spurs on the runners.
Many charities will provide a reception area just a few metres from the finish to help guide you through this part of the day. Every time I ran past an NSPCC cheering point there was a roar of encouragement and shouting of my name — it felt so good and helped me no end. It was my first-ever marathon and the most amazing experience!
As mentioned above, there are two routes to running for charity. Good luck! Got a place through the ballot? Please swipe to see more. Skip to main content.
