Race for Greenpeace

Run for charity

Running for charity is one of the most rewarding ways to take on a physical challenge. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or lacing up your trainers for the first time, choosing to run for a cause adds purpose to every mile. It’s a great way to stay motivated while training, and it gives your friends and family an inspiring reason to support you.

Greenpeace offers charity places in a wide range of UK running events – from muddy obstacle courses to iconic city races. You can join us for a 10k, half marathon, marathon or Tough Mudder event and raise funds to protect the planet. When you run for Greenpeace, you’re not just crossing a finish line – you’re standing up for forests, oceans, climate and nature.

Half marathon charity places

Taking on a half marathon is a brilliant way to raise money for charity – it’s a real challenge, but one that’s achievable with a bit of training and determination. Runners of all levels take part in half marathons every year, drawn by the atmosphere, the sense of achievement, and the chance to do some real good. When you run for Greenpeace, you’ll be helping fight for a greener, fairer world every step of the way.

We’ve got charity places available in some of the UK’s best-loved races, including the Royal Parks Half Marathon, Manchester Half, Oxford Half, Great South Run, Bath Half, London Landmarks Half, and Hackney Half – as well as the full Brighton Marathon. When you run with us, we’ll support you with your own fundraising dashboard, answers to any questions and inspiring info about how your the money you raise will power our campaigns for greener, more peaceful world. Choose your event and join Team Greenpeace to make your miles matter.
