Why run for Shelter?

When you sign up to run for Shelter, you get more than just the buzz of knowing you're supporting our work .

We'll look after you all the way, with training and fundraising tips aplenty and a runner's package tailored to each race. The basic components of the package are:

  • support all the way, with top tips on training, health and nutrition, and fundraising
  • sponsorship forms
  • a 16-week training programme developed by our friends at realbuzz.com
  • a Shelter/adidas running vest
  • free Shelter cheering t-shirts for your family and friends

In 2003, Shelter was the Flora London Marathon's official charity, raising an incredible £850,000. Since then, over 7,000 people have approached us about running for Shelter - so you're in good company!
