Do your own thing - running

If you would like to take on a run that isn't listed on our site, you can still join our team. We'd love to have you with us! This includes any runs through event organisers, or it may be a virtual run you have organised yourself.

How to register your own run

A huge variety of runs of all distances take place across the UK, or even abroad, throughout the year. From 5Ks to marathons to virtual runs, you'll be sure to find one to suit you. You might want to sign up for an organised event, or you could even create your own personal running challenge.

If you're signing up for an organised event, simply register with the organisers, then register with us, letting us know which run you've signed up for.

If your event is over a period of time, please enter the last day of your challenge in the event date box provided on the registration form.

We'll send you our Run it your way digital welcome pack, as well as lots of fundraising support. And we'll let you know how you can connect with other Mind runners.

How we'll support you

Once you have a confirmed place, and have registered your details with us, we will support you from start to finish.

Register with us and you'll get:

a digital welcome pack, full of fundraising tips and advice
the opportunity to receive a Mind running vest
training advice
fundraising materials
support from our dedicated team

We're committed to treating our supporters with respect and openness. Read our promise to you.

Marathons for the Mind - running the Tour de France

"My Tour de France started today and there wasn't a bike in sight. I wasn't going to be watching or even riding the most famous bike race in the world, I planned to run it."
