The standard entry for this year’s Kilomathon race from Derby to Nottingham is £45 equal to a whopping £2.76 mile. Although promoted as a London Marathon training race to reduce the fee to £5 you need to fund raise £260, on top of the £1,500 plus many runners are raising to run London. With the popularity of the general public participating in challenging sporting events and the reduction of people giving to charities is this the start of companies seeing runners as an easy target for raising money through sponsorship and increased entry fees.
Whether you were successful in getting your own place for next years Virgin London Marathon or not, charities are always looking for runners to race and fund raise for them. What’s the most cost effective way to collect your donations and for your chosen charity to keep all the monies you raise?
