What's behind door number 2?..
🏔️ It's the Virtual Everest Challenge

Mount Everest is the highest point on earth and one of the biggest physical challenges a person can take on! Sitting 8,848m above sea level, the summit is a dome of snow with space for 6 people standing.

Can you take on the Virtual Everest Challenge and climb the equivalent elevation over 12 weeks? We think you can!

Hello to our new followers 👋

At Run for Charity we pride ourselves on offering a varied, inclusive and accessible portfolio. We collaborate with some of the top event organisers to provide the biggest platform for filling places in over 800 running events and challenges.

Working with thousands of charities, our aim is to help them to reduce the risk of not filling places, maximise the ROI and diversify fundraising opportunities for supporters.

This is how charities fill places.

Today is and we're delighted to work with over 1,000 worthy causes.

At Run for Charity we pride ourselves on providing charities with a platform to access hundreds of challenge events, and a team equipped with knowledge and experience on how to maximise the ROI (return on investment).

Quote from Sharewear Clothing Scheme - Classic Member:

"We had long been considering how we could diversify fundraising for our small charity by obtaining places in running events and attracting runners to fundraise on our behalf, (particularly as there are several keen runners within our volunteer team), but we were never sure how to go about this. Joining Run for Charity has literally been game changing - the team have been brilliant and are always on the end of an email to offer advice and support where needed. We are really thrilled that in under three months we already have two hugely successful events under our belts and are excitedly planning for the runners who are already signed up to take part in events in 2024."
