Join Team ShelterAbout the Barcelona Marathon
Challenge yourself to the Barcelona Marathon and race through one of Europe's most beautiful cities.
Enthusiastic crowds of supporters will cheer you on every step of the way. Barcelona prides itself on an inclusive and diverse marathon – last year runners of 109 different nationalities took part!
On the fast, flat route, you'll see impressive landmarks including the Sagrada Familia, Arc de Triomf and the Casa Batlló. Plus, the lure of a post-race dip in the sea will lift your spirits even in the toughest moments.
By raising vital funds for Shelter, you'll be joining the fight for housing justice.
You must be at least 18 years old to run the Barcelona Marathon.

Your run fuels the fight for home
Thanks to fundraisers like you, last year we supported 15,975 households through our emergency helpline and 12,203 through our local hubs. From older renters facing eviction to families crammed into hotel rooms, our experts stand with people experiencing homelessness or unsafe housing.
We also campaign for long-term change, lobbying the government to build social homes, improve renters' rights and end homelessness for good.
Every mile, every drop of sweat and every pound you raise will help defend the right to a safe home.
Fundraising for Shelter
We recommend you start by setting up a fundraising page on JustGiving and asking friends, family and colleagues to sponsor you. You can also organise an event such as a bake sale or quiz. See our fundraising resources for more inspiration.
Please make sure you’re confident in reaching the fundraising pledge before you sign up. We invest in places at charity events and need to raise as much as possible for our fight against housing injustice.
Our friendly Events team are on hand to support you with your fundraising. If you have a question or want to talk through ideas, email running@shelter.org.uk or call us on 0344 515 1190.
