Set up your fundraising page under our official fundraising page. The donations from this page are directly linked to ISWAN, the charity of choice for 2026.
People who start shouting out about their fundraising early, typically raise up to 50% more for charity.
Please consider shouting out your fundraising link far and wide and tagging us on IG @marathonfor_mentalhealth when you post about your marathon. -
You will receive a link to join our Strava club, so join us there and follow us on IG @marathonfor_mentalhealth for the feel-good vibes.
We always shout out on stories, people that tag us, and pride ourselves on ACTUAL connection.
The Strava was buzzing with kudos and comments in year 1 with people supporting each other from all over the world. We’re sure it will be the same in 2026!

The way we can make the most impact to people receiving the mental health resources they deserve and sustaining charitable crew welfare services is by mass participation. Help us grow this global marathon and tell your friends, colleagues and people you think might be interested in joining.
-
Whether you break it up into daily walks during your lunch break, running loops of the deck or epic hikes over 4 weekends. Cover the distance of 26.2 miles your way! (Don’t forget to tag us in your feel-good cap so we can see your epic views too!)

We will host 10 in-person 5ks across the globe throughout October. Meet other like-minded people and feel-good together. Head here [link] to find Community 5k program locations near you.
