Running for a charity is one of the primary ways to secure your spot. By raising a nominated amount for a designated charity, you can exchange it for a race entry.

Sign up as a Charity Runner for one of our Charity Partners, and raise the required amount or more in return for a FREE entry into the event of your choice, subject to availability of places for that organisation. 

PLEASE NOTE: The Run for a Cause program has closed applications and is no longer accepting participants
