We've partnered with 'Run For Charity' to bring you a large selection of exciting running events. These are the most popular way for fundraisers to raise money and we can see why! There’s something for everyone - from marathons to inflatable runs. You can take on a personal challenge or run with friends, colleagues or your family.
First things to think about:
- What distance would you like to cover? Marathons and Ultra Marathons are great for experienced runners, whereas 5k or 10k can be the perfect distance for beginners.
- What kind of route would you prefer? Would you rather run a flat route around a city or a more scenic route in the countryside?
- Would you like to run with friends, colleagues or family? We also have mud runs, obstacle runs and inflatable courses as well as child-friendly runs at places like Alton Towers.
- Would you like a Bipolar UK running vest or t-shirt so your friends and family can spot you in the crowd? Perhaps your friends and family would like a t-shirt too so you can see them!
Once you’ve decided what you’re looking for, you can browse, select your event and begin your running journey.
We’re here for you if you have questions, need support signing up, or need help with your fundraising – email us [email protected]
