In many cases, events will reserve a certain number of entries for charities, which means that once the general sale or ballot has closed, running for charity will be your only way of getting a place in an event. It can feel more difficult to back out of an event if you've started fundraising already! Some runners will have one charity that is particularly close to their heart while others will be keen to just raise money for a good cause, helping to motivate their training when the going gets tough. For example, Race for Life is an annual event organised by Cancer Research UK and the proceeds are all dedicated to that cause. Even if you have joined an event without fundraising, you will enjoyed the carnival atmosphere that charity stalls can create, spurring runners on to the finish line.īy contrast, smaller events may be dedicated to one charity that aids people in the local area. Running events and charitable fundraising have been closely linked for decades, with some major events, like the London Marathon or Great North Run, raising tens of thousands of pounds each year for a range of good causes.
