Virtual running couldn’t be easier

No complicated forms. No start dates or times. And everyone’s a winner. Just follow our simple five-step process, and you’ll be a valued member of our Virtual Running community, helping young people at risk of homelessness.

1. Choose A Run

Select a run, from 5K to Marathon, then simply pay and register.
Choose your Race

2. Complete the distance

How you run it is up to you. You can smash it in one go, or break it down into smaller distances over time. If you use a running app, just be sure to log the run.

3. Submit your evidence

We need some visual evidence that you’ve completed your run. If you use a running app, you can upload a screen grab. If you don’t have the tech, a selfie or written proof will do just fine.

4. Receive your medal

As soon as we receive your evidence, we’ll post out your well-deserved medal. When it arrives, why not mark the occasion with a social media post or two? And remember to tag us. #therunnningcharity

5. Know you’ve helped a young person in need

We all know that running is good for physical and mental health. But doing it for The Running Charity comes with an added feel-good factor. 100% of your money goes to supporting young people impacted by homelessness in the UK.
