WHY?

There are so many reasons to run for charity if you have an entry in a running event. We're now giving you more.

• Be part of a team

Running can be lonely at times, but knowing you're part of a group can give you a real lift. Many charities have training sessions and WhatsApp groups where you can meet others and share your experiences.

• Motivation

Long, dark nights putting you off? A cold that lingers for days more than it should? There are so many excuses for not running, but knowing you are making a difference will be a major motivator as you train for your next event.

• The feel good factor

Imagine how good it will feel finishing your next event, hitting your goal, but also raising funds for your preferred charity. Raising money at a running event gives you a dual goal; you'll be helping others as well as doing something special for yourself.

• Get rewarded

Now you can do all this, run your event for free (if you raise £200) and potentially earn yourself a free pair of £150 running shoes (if you raise £1000). There are lots of other incentives in-between as well and this differ by charity.

HOW?

It's really easy. All you need to do is head here and find out more details on the incentives and rewards that are available.

Each of our partners charities have a slightly different package of incentives, but all offer a new pair of £150 pair of running shoes if you hit £1000 of fundraising and the majority will refund your entry (up to the value of £40) if you raise £200. There are also plenty of other incentives, including shirts, hoodies and teddies.

Have a look at each charity and then join the team that you prefer using the button on their page.

Once you get going you'll hit £1000 in no time and a pair of running shoes will be yours.

Here are some of our charity partners. More are being added regularly.

WHAT FUNDRAISING PLATFORM DO I USE?

There are a number of different platforms available but most charities will have one that they will ask you to use. It makes it easier for them to keep track of donations and to monitor how things are going.

Most of our charities use Just Giving, but we'll let you know as soon as you sign up.

WHERE DO I GET FUNDRAISING SUPPORT?

Each of our charity partners will have fundraising resources available to you, including fundraising packs that contain lots of great ideas. We also have a Fundraising Hub where you can access podcasts, videos and more that will give you plenty of support and inspiration.
