Welcome to Marathon Fundraising Ideas

I'm an avid marathon runner and a passiionate supporter of charities around the world. There's no better time to reach out to your friends and family to sponsor you than when you're doing a marathon fundraiser. My blog will help you raise more money from more people.

Starting Your Marathon Fundraiser

I’ve ran in so many marathons and races, I can’t even keep them straight. Even after torn ligaments, bruised knees and blistered toes, I still continue to enter these races for no other reason than to help raise money for charity. Every year, I put together marathon fundraisers. With a marathon fundraiser, you have the ability to raise a ton of money. It’s all about being persistent. I have wonderful friends and family that support me in my journey every year to raise money for the charities I love.

I am using Crowdrise to build my marathon fundraising page. It’s basically a site that allows me to build a marathon fundraiser at no cost and share with all of my supporters. It’s incredibly viral which is key to getting the word out about charities.

You should check it out whenever you get a chance. All you need to do is pick a charity you’d like to do your marathon fundraiser for and write a quick paragraph about the race and why you chose the charity. Then share with everyone you know and hopefully raise some money. I promise it will make you run faster and want to race all over again.
