I've got my own place

Why should I take part for Cats Protection

Two reasons, both are as important as each other.

firstly, to make life better for millions of cats across the country. Your generosity and kindness enables our teams to go on caring for cats
secondly, for yourself! By taking part in this run, it can be a fantastic and fun way to challenge yourself, mix up your day to day, get fit and raise vital donations for cats in need. We like to think of it as the good kind of nervous. You’re getting out of your comfort zone but you’ll be having so much fun doing it!

You'll also receive some fantastic benefits! Some of the fun things you’ll get by taking part include:

free entry into Kew Gardens for you and your supporters
a great goody bag including post-race snacks and a drink
a fantastic medal
an official Run-Fest technical running t-shirt (male and female cut)
course entertainment including Dj's and cheer stations

How we'll support you with your challenge

We'll be with you every step of the way, from sign-up to the finish line! When you join Team Cats, you’ll get a first-class experience including:

dedicated support from our Events team, who will answer any questions and offer personalised fundraising advice
a jam-packed Fundraising Handbook containing downloadable resources, tips, advice and inspiring stories from previous Cat Champions!
branded technical vest or t-shirt to wear with pride during training and on event day
access to our community of Cat Champions, where you’ll connect with other cat lovers, exchange training and fundraising ideas and advice, and share your cutest cat photos!
stories about the cats you’re helping, and even the chance to visit your local Cats Protection, to see firsthand the impact your fundraising will make
