For nonprofits
$42M raised.
One runner at a time.
Since 2008 CharityTeams has turned marathon start lines into fundraising teams for the organisations that need them. We handle the race, the recruitment and the fundraising. You choose who runs for you.
The opportunity
A fundraising team, without building one.
Endurance events are among the most reliable peer-to-peer fundraising channels there is. The reason most nonprofits do not use them well is that running a charity team is a full-time job. That is the part we do.
$42M+
Raised since 2008
Across eighteen seasons and every race we place runners in. That is money that reached programmes, not a pledged figure.
