Runs and marathons

Our year-round programme of running has something to suit everyone. It includes the UK's biggest and best marathons, half marathons and 10k runs, such as the London marathon, Bristol half marathon, Robin Hood marathon, Bath half marathon and many more.

It also features some of the most prestigious overseas marathons – such as the New York marathon and Berlin marathon. 

As a Red Cross charity marathon runner, you'll be in good hands. We'll ensure you get expert training advice with your marathon training and running support from start to finish.

When you sign up for one of our marathons, we will send you a fundraising pack, including sponsorship forms, PR advice and information about the Red Cross. You can also set up your very own Red Cross branded fundraising webpage on Justgiving where you can also post your marathon photos. You will also receive a running vest and hints, tips and support from your local fundraiser.

Find out how we will spend the money you raise.
