Virtual Valentine's Day Run

Spread the love this Valentine’s Day and help fight childhood cancer.

Run 10k anytime before or during the 14th February, to raise funds for vital research into new, more effective and kinder treatments for children with neuroblastoma. Choose the date, time and location of your race and the floor is yours!

The 10k can be completed in a number of ways:

  1. If you’re lucky enough to have that special someone to run with, you can each run 5k on Valentine’s Day.

  2. Run 10K alone, before or during Valentine’s Day.

  3. Run 5K alone on two separate days before or during the 14th February.

How can I register?

  1. Complete our registration form so we can register you with the event organisers, Sport for Charity.

  2. Wait to receive an email from the Virtual Marathon Series, who’ll send you a link to their portal, where you can record any training and submit evidence of your race. You’ll be asked to pay the registration fee and fill out a few details too.

  3. We’ll be in touch to help you set up a JustGiving page and provide you with some top fundraising tips.

  4. Pick a time and date for your race - it can be run anytime before or during the 14th February.

  5. Submit evidence of your race to the portal by using Garmin Connect, Strava, Map My Run, Nike App or any other GPS device which can track your run. Take a screenshot or photo of your tracker and submit via the online console.

  6. You’ll be sent a medal and be in for the chance of winning one of Sport for Charity’s many prizes!

Prizes you say?!

The Virtual Marathon Series is offering two prizes for :

  1. The fastest couples’ time on Valentine’s Day for the 10k distance.

  2. The person or pair who raise the most money for their chosen charity by Valentine’s Day.

If you win, the event organisers will donate £250 to your chosen charity and receive a goody bag in the post!

To apply for the fastest pair, you will need to enter your time through the Virtual Marathon Series portal and complete 5K per person specifically on Valentine’s Day.

To apply for the highest fundraiser, you will need to send an email to virtual@runforcharity.com with a link to your fundraising page no later than the 1st of March.
