#RunforRuth is a free to participate physical and fundraising challenge open to everyone. You can run wherever you wish, whenever you like and with whichever family you choose, helping to support more families.

Take on #RunforRuth and your fundraising will help support families facing the death of a parent.

It’s your choice! Think about how much exercise you currently do and try to pick a run or walking challenge that will push you, whilst making sure it is still something you will enjoy. We have included lots of suggestions in our fundraising pack which you will receive after you register.

You can do your own #RunforRuth challenge whenever you would like! Alternatively, if you have signed up to an organised event why not use that to #RunforRuth, such as the Vitality Westminster Mile.

Yes! It is your challenge and we want to make it as fun as it can be for you. When setting up your fundraising page you will have the option to create an individual page or team page.

Due to the current Covid-19 restrictions we recommend that you fundraise through virtual platforms such as Virgin Money Giving and JustGiving. If you would like to fundraise offline you will find more information on paying this money in within your fundraising pack along with a downloadable sponsorship form.

Please contact the platform helpdesk who will be able to advise you on any issues with your page.

Of course. You can let us know who you are dedicating your run to on your registration form. If you would like to tell us more about who you are dedicating your challenge to and why please get in touch at fundraising@ruthstraussfoundation.com.

No, you can take part anywhere in the world! Please bear in mind it might take a little longer for your #RunforRuth shoelaces to arrive depending on where you are based.

You can join our Strava club at www.strava.com/clubs/RSFrunforruth to make sure your miles count towards our goal or reaching Australia. Don’t forget to also connect your fundraising page to your Strava activity. It’s a great way to show your supporters the hard work you are putting in, and can increase your fundraising by 45%!

If you have a different issue, or would like to tell us more about what you have planned, don’t be shy, and send an email to fundraising@ruthstraussfoundation.com.

Yes! To say thank you for supporting us you will receive your own #RunforRuth shoelaces for your challenge. Don’t forget to share a picture with us of them in action! If you would rather not receive your shoelaces just let us know when you register.

Yes! You can buy a Ruth Strauss Foundation T-Shirt, and lots more, in our online store (link to https://shop.ruthstraussfoundation.com/)

We want to make sure that the Ruth Strauss Foundation can give you the support and encouragement you deserve when fundraising for us. The information you provide us with will only be used for this purpose, unless you opt in to receive our wider marketing.

It is important that everyone stays safe and follow your local guidelines when planning your own #RunforRuth. As the guidelines are changing all the time we cannot give you specific information but do make sure you stay up to date with guidance.

Your safety is the most important thing to us so please make sure you are only undertaking something which is safe to do so.
