Runs and marathons

Our year-round programme of running has something to suit everyone. From London to Chicago, it includes the world’s biggest runs. You can choose to run a full marathon, like the London Marathon, a half-marathon, like the Great North Run, or even a 10k run, like the London 10,000.

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 runs, we will send you a fundraising pack, including sponsorship forms, PR advice and information about the Red Cross.  You will also receive a running vest and hints, tips and support from a Red Cross fundraiser.

Find out how we will spend the money you raise.

See below for this year’s running events and marathons.
