About Charity Runs
Connecting runners with donors through live GPS tracking, making every step count for charity.
Our Mission
Charity Runs is a platform that brings charity events to life through real-time GPS tracking. Whether it's a marathon, fun run, tractor run, or any seasonal tracker event, we help organisers engage their supporters by letting donors follow along live on a map.
Our goal is simple: help charities raise more money while giving donors an immersive, engaging way to support the causes they care about.

Every Penny to Charity
100% of all donations go directly to the chosen charity. We believe that when you donate to a cause, your money should go to that cause—not to us.
How We Keep the Lights On
Running a platform like Charity Runs comes with costs—infrastructure, hosting, and payment processing fees from our payments provider, Stripe. To cover these costs without taking from charity donations, we offer donors the option to add a voluntary contribution on top of their donation.
This voluntary platform fee is entirely optional. If you choose not to add it, 100% of your donation still goes to charity. If you do add it, you're helping us continue to provide this service for free to charities everywhere.
💡 Example: If you donate £10 to charity and add a £1 voluntary platform fee, the charity receives the full £10 and Charity Runs receives £1 to help cover operating costs.
