My MS Run

Challenge yourself with your very own My MS Run! Set yourself a distance and take on the challenge by yourself or as a team. And help us make sure no one has to face MS alone.

We need anyone who's up for the challenge to take on the miles to help support the MS community. And it doesn't matter if you're a seasoned race runner. Or you've laced up your trainers for the first time this year.

Simply sign up and set yourself a distance and run in your own time! Or why not get your friends, family and colleagues involved and run further as a team?

We're asking you to raise as much as you can along the way. 

Every mile you run and every pound raised will help make sure no one has to face MS alone.

Everything you need to know

What is my MS Run?

We’re challenging everyone to run a distance in your own time. You can track your miles using any device that can do this accurately. Strava is great for this as it tracks and analyses every aspect of your activity. And it can be connected to your JustGiving page.

Why should I support the MS Society?

Over 130,000 people in the UK have MS. It’s unpredictable, and different for everyone. It’s often painful, exhausting and can cause problems with how we walk, move, see, think and feel. But it doesn’t have to be this way. We’re driving research into more – and better – treatments for everyone. Together, we are strong enough to stop MS.

How do I sign up?

It’s simple, all you need to do is set up a JustGiving fundraising page. We'll get notified automatically that you've taken on the challenge and we’ll allocate you to a team. After that all you need to do is complete as many miles as you can!

Is there a fundraising target?

We don’t have a set target, or a minimum sponsorship requirement, but £100 is a great place to start. It's only with the generosity of our supporters that we can continue to be there for the MS community.

How do I fundraise?

Please set up a JustGiving page to fundraise. All income on this will be transferred to us directly. Throughout your journey we'll provide you with fundraising tips to help support you. We ask that any final fundraising is sent into us by 31 December 2024.

Can I take part as a team?

Yes! You can take it on as a team challenge and each complete your chosen distance. Or you can split the distance between everyone. Make it a challenge for all involved!

How can I log my distance?

JustGiving have integrated with Strava so you can now automatically share your fitness tracking, training pics, maps and miles on your fundraising page. And when you join your team we'll invite you to be part of a Strava club so you can track your team total.
