By running for us, you can support a wide range of charities in Hackney and the City of London. The funds you raise will make a real difference to people living locally: we’ll use them to make more grants to community groups working to improve wellbeing and to bring people together to reduce isolation and strengthen communities.

The event is on 17 May 2026 and starts and ends at Hackney Marshes, London E9 5PF.

When you participate, you will:

• Know that you’re making a real difference to people living in the areas that you’re running through.
• Get a Hackney Giving running t shirt or vest*.
• Be supported by the Hackney Giving team and our other runners.
• Get help setting up your sponsorship page on JustGiving.
• Be invited to visit some of the groups we’ve funded, so you can see for yourself the difference you’re making.

‍We ask for:

• A registration fee of £25.
• A fundraising pledge of £250.

‍We have a limited number of places available, if you’re interested, please email info@hackneygiving.org.uk telling us why you’d like to run for Hackney Giving, and we’ll get back to you with more details.

*Please note, to receive your running shirt, you will need to send us the link to your fundraising page with at least £60 of donations already raised.
