Why run with ActionAid?

Whether you choose your local 5k fun run, a 10k cross country challenge, a half or full marathon in the UK or abroad we will support your efforts and congratulate your achievements.

If you run with ActionAid, we will offer you:

Advice on training and fundraising

We know that a fundraising target can seem daunting at first, which is why we offer a fundraising coordinator to give support, ideas and tips on fundraising.

We'll also advise you on training, nutrition and the event itself, as well as supplying that all-important ActionAid Action running vest!

Our dedicated fundraising community

myactionaid.org.uk allows you to create a personalised fundraising page, upload photos, add blogs, join forums and receive donations securely online (without any loss of commission).

Our vision for change, for good

We don’t just hand out aid. We work with people in poor countries to give them the power and resources to change their own lives – for good.
