We want to make Race for LandAid and are delighted to be able to welcome dogs at our event.

Please do follow our rules around their participation:

One dog per participants, on a short, handheld, non-extendable lead by the side of the participant, and within reach at all times. Care must also be taken to avoid tripping other participants..

The minimum fundraising target is £100 per person. This could help fund a safe place for a young person for nearly three weeks. Find out more about the cost of funding a safe place to sleep here.

Yes, absolutely! Firstly take a look at the fundraising resources within your fundraiser's dashboard. If you want to chat with us, drop us an email to: race@landaid.org

Personalising your asks can have a huge impact in the value and number of donations. The easiest way to fundraise is to simply share your fundraising page on social media or via email.

Be sure to personalise your page with a photo and a blog explaining why you are racing for LandAid.

The final deadline for fundraising is the end of August 2025, however we encourage participants to try and hit their target as close to the event as possible.

We recommend taking lots of photos throughout the event, to share with your donors during and after Race for LandAid. You could even record a series of videos to create a vlog or a reel to share on your social media 

Be sure to tag #RaceforLandAid so we can reshare and help you spread the word!

Yes! We'll be in regular contact by email with tips, hints, and updates to help keep you motivated with your training and fundraising, as well as all the important information you'll need for the day itself.

Sometimes our emails get caught in spam or quarantine filters, so if you haven't heard from us, check your junk files, and make sure events@landaid.org and events@mg.landaid.org are added to your safe senders list.

Of course! We would love to welcome you whether in London or Manchester, or by joining us virtually - however you race, you're joining the fight against youth homelessness.

Our fundraising pages include the function to sync your personal distance tally so you can track your training runs and the race itself. This is a great way to keep your friends updated on your workouts!

If you track your workouts with Fitbit, MapMyFitness or Strava your distances will automatically add to your tally.

Follow these steps to track your KMs automatically:

1. Download the Fitbit, Strava or MapMyFitness app and set up your account

2. Log in to your [charity or event name] account.

3. Under the heading ‘Connect your preferred Fitness app’, click your chosen app.

4. Follow the prompts to connect your account

5. When you next work out, select ‘start your workout’ in the app on your phone. Once you end your workout, save your workout and your distance will be published to the tally on your page the following day.

If you have synced your app already but it is not working, please log in and re-connect it.

When using Fitbit, you must ‘start’ an activity and save it. Your daily steps will not automatically add to your page. If you are having issues, try syncing through BOTH your Fitbit and the Fitbit app on your smartphone.

When using MapMyFitness, you must ‘start’ your workout, ‘stop’ your workout and then ‘SAVE’ your workout.

Your tally will be updated each day with the previous day’s distances.

Remember, you can manually add your kilometres to the tally in your My Fitness Activity tab of your profile after registering. This is a great option if you’re using a pedometer or a different method of tracking your distances.

Follow these steps to manually add your KMs:

1. Log in to your account and select ‘My Fitness Activity’

2. Under ‘Add activity’, enter the date and distance

3. The number of KMs will now appear on your fundraising page!
