Running for charity has never been more important than it is right now. All around the world charity finances are being stretched and they need you to fundraise whenever you can. If you have an entry in an event why not use it to support your preferred charity and do whatever you can to help them deliver their crucial work. It's really important that as many of us as possible fundraise for charities and when you do you'll find out just how rewarding it is. Running and fundraising is a great combination and can be great fun. Our charity partners reward their fundraisers. If you hit a certain target they will refund your entry fee. Check out our partner charities below and each will tell you what you need to raise and how they'll support you. As a thank you for getting started we'll also send you a voucher code for 20% off your next pair of running shoes or gear.
