Fundraising ideas for your Lloyds TSB Cardiff Half Marathon run

Still working on your personal best? Getting your running kit in order? Worried about that elusive fundraising target?

Fear not! Here are a few simple fun’raising ideas to help you boost your fundraising total in a short time. They are also a great opportunity to boast about your upcoming challenge and tell supporters about your cause!

  • Organise a barbecue – charge your guests to attend
  • Bake cakes and sell them at work
  • Host a dinner party and charge your friends to come. (Do this more than once with different groups of people)
  • Organise a quiz night – book an area in a pub, charge guests £10 to come along and have a cash prize
  • Guess my finish time – sell finishing times and offer a prize to the person who gets closest
  • Car boot sale (or eBay) – get friends together, and all gather up your old clothes, books, music etc, then sell them on and put the proceeds to your sponsorship total
If you’re running for Barnardo’s, you can email cardiffhalfmarathon@barnardos.org.uk for advice and information.
