Please allow 2 weeks for your fundraising pack and clothing item to arrive.

Why should I get my name printed on my running top?

People with their names printed on their running top will get support from people all around the route. Sometimes someone calling out your name is all you need for that extra push!

Is there a fundraising target if I have a ballot place?

No, we only give fundraising targets to people with Dogs Trust charity places. We really appreciate people who have decided to use their own place to raise fund for Dogs Trust.

I would like to apply for a Dogs Trust charity place?

Dogs Trust have very limited charity places in the London Marathon, so we pick our runners through an application process. For more information and our application form you can find that here.

I already have a fundraising page, why should I set up a Dogs Trust fundraising page?
