Not sure what kind of run to organise?

There are loads of creative ways to get moving for a good cause. Here are some fun ideas to get your trainers (and imagination) going:

• Solo Challenge – Set your own distance and go at your own pace. Whether it’s 5K a day for a week or a marathon in a month, it’s all about pushing yourself for a great cause.
• Community Fun Run – Get the community together. You could encourage runners to dress in fancy dress.
• Sunrise to Sunset Relay – Team up with friends or colleagues and keep the baton moving from dawn till dusk.
• Local Landmark Dash - Plot a route that takes in your town or city's best-known sights.

Organising a charity run will have a huge impact

The Red Cross helps people in the UK and across the world get the support they need in an emergency.

£5 could provide hot drinks and food for a family affected by flooding.

£20 could provide a refugee with an hour of one-to-one support.

£100 could buy 20 torches, helping people impacted by a power outage.
