someone worse off than yourself will give you the extra motivation needed. We liked what one charity was doing to keep their runners on the right track - organising a bootcamp in advance of a big north of England marathon and inviting all of their team to come along for a bespoke 1 hour training session.
Race Day Hero
Decked in your charity vest expect to get incredible support on the streets of Newcastle, London or Liverpool on race day as well as great feeling of solidarity with your fellow charity runners. When you’re running for a good cause, the crowds really get behind you. There always huge turnouts of charity supporters, all of them will give you incredible encouragement, but you’ll get the biggest boost as you pass the cheering points of your own team.
After The Race If you’re lucky enough to be running on behalf of a charity with a big presence at an event you can expect to get ‘star’ treatment post-
race. Pampering can include photographs, lots of nice food and drinks, sports massage and endless congratulations. One charity - the Roy Castle Foundation - will be really pushing the boat out at RunLiverpool marathon; they’re planning a big party for their 100 strong team plus family and friends at a trendy Albert Dock venue on the night of the race. Juice FM will provide the sounds, there will be a tasty buffet and a photographer will be on hand to snap the charity star (i.e, - you!) with the Liver Building as a backdrop.
The Real Benefits Of course, getting a t-shirt and a glass of Buck’s Fizz after the race is great, but the real reward for running for charity is the wonderful glow you’ll feel when you cross the finish line and you know all that effort will be helping your local hospice or disabled kids. And if you have been running for a cause that it is close to your heart, we’ll make a stab at the value of your post-race emotions - priceless!
