Charity run: keep fit for a good cause
Exercise is good for you, running is healthy — but that is not always enough to inspire people to do sport on a regular basis. Those seeking motivation can make themselves and others happy by entering a charity run.
Run at international charity events
Why only run for yourself when you can also run for others? There are many different ways in which you can run for charity. In international running circles it is well known, for instance, that the big running events in New York, London or Berlin are also charity events and allow people to enter and run for a good cause. Those interested in running can choose from a number of charity partners when entering the TCS New York City Marathon, the Virgin Money London Marathon and the BMW Berlin Marathon, supporting projects that are important to them and guaranteeing a starting place – as long as a charity’s allotted places have not been filled. If you would like to run for a good cause, you certainly don’t have to enter big events like this. You can also run individually and collect donations.

Select your project by app and get running
The free app MovingTwice wants to motivate people to go running and donate to a good cause. You can use the app to select a project from participating companies that is close to your heart. Then it’s time to get running — sponsors take care of the donations. It is not possible to outwit the app (by driving a car, for example) because the speed is limited.
Moving projects in the truest sense of the word
The website betterplace.org, by its own account Germany’s biggest online donation platform, offers numerous ways to collect donations, including sports-related activities, whether running, cycling or mountaineering. The platform gives individuals the opportunity to set up a donation campaign with a picture and description, and choose from more than 29,000 different aid projects.
