Running Events - Team YMCA Benefits

By being part of Team YMCA, you not only get the opportunity to take part in exciting challenge events, but you'll also be raising valuable funds to help young people build a better future.

However, we know it's tough to commit to training for an event, and raise money at the same time. That's why we've put together a support package, depending on the event you do, that will keep you going every step of the way.

All our Team YMCA runners receive the following:

  • Dedicated support from YMCA England's Fundraising Team
  • A Fundraising Guide full of useful tips and templates
  • An online sponsorship page at www.justgiving.com
  • Media support from our Press Team, to get your story noticed
  • Opportunity to get in touch with fellow runners and share training tips and fundraising ideas
  • A Team YMCA Running Vest, so that we can spot you in the crowd.

For our BUPA Great North Run runners, we'll include:

  • A 9-week Half-Marathon Training Guide and Training Log to take you through each week of your preparations, and help you stay on track
  • A Half-Marathon Nutrition Guide, with tips on how to stay fuelled during your training.

For our VIRGIN London Marathon runners, we'll include:

  • A 16-week Marathon Training Guide and Training Log
  • A Marathon Nutrition Guide
  • A Team YMCA Cheering Point at Mile 6, where we will be cheering on you on!
  • Access to the YMCA Post Race Reception, with massages, refreshments and a chance to relax and meet your supporters after the race.
