Do you already have your own place? 

If you’ve already bought your own place, we’d love for you to join our team! All you need to do is pledge to fundraise for Target Ovarian Cancer through your MyRunning account.

For this option there's no minimum sponsorship, but we hope you'll raise as much as you can.

Set up a JustGiving page

Setting up a JustGiving page is a great way to fundraise online. Share your link with family, friends and colleagues, and watch the donations roll in.  

You can use JustGiving to explain why you’re taking on the challenge for Target Ovarian Cancer, keep track of how much you’ve raised, and even share your training progress. The more you update and share your JustGiving page, the more donations you’ll receive.

Set up a JustGiving page for the 'Edinburgh Marathon Festival' today! 

What you can expect from us

  • Support from a member of the fundraising team, to help you every step of the way.
  • Free fundraising materials to help you raise awareness of your challenge and the charity.
  • A Target Ovarian Cancer t-shirt (with the option to upgrade to a running vest)

We'll offer you the same high level of support whether you join us with a charity place or with your own place.
