Run a Marathon. Fundraise. Get £100. 

givestar launches new incentive campaign rewarding UK marathon runners who raise more for charity

London, UK – givestar, the next generation fundraising platform built for modern runners, has launched a new nationwide campaign giving marathon runners a simple, powerful reason to raise more for charity: fundraise £200 and receive £100 to spend at Pro:Direct.

The campaign, “Run a Marathon. Fundraise. Get £100,” is open to UK runners taking part in any organised marathon, including London, Brighton, Manchester and Edinburgh. By creating a fundraising page on givestar and using the promo code MARATHON2026, runners who hit the £200 fundraising milestone will unlock a £100 Pro:Direct voucher to spend on shoes, kit or running tech of their choice (T&Cs apply).

Designed as a no-brainer incentive, the campaign rewards runners for the effort they’re already putting in – while helping charities raise more in the process.

The fundraising platform for runners

givestar has quickly become the go-to fundraising platform for runners who want to maximise their impact. Tens of thousands of runners have already raised millions of pounds for charity on givestar, powered by technology proven to generate higher donations.

Key features include:

  • Fundraising for up to four charities at once, giving runners flexibility and choice
  • Tap to Donate, allowing fundraisers to take contactless donations directly on their mobile — with donations averaging 50% higher than standard online gifts
  • Tools built specifically for sharing, storytelling and community-driven fundraising

Crucially, runners who already have a fundraising page elsewhere aren’t left out. givestar can add existing donations from another platform to a new givestar page, ensuring runners can still qualify for the campaign.

How it works

  1. Visit givestar.io/marathon2026 and click Get Fundraising
  2. Create a fundraising page and add promo code MARATHON2026
  3. Share your page far and wide
  4. Once £200 is raised, receive a £100 Pro:Direct voucher
