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.

Summer is finally here, a perfect time to go for a run or jog in the sun. Whether you are new to running to get fit or just enjoying exercising outdoors in this fantastic weather, having a goal to aim for is always great motivation to keep training.
What could be a better goal than to run a 5K for charity?
