Take on the challenge of running a full or half marathon and raise vital funds for a good cause at the same time. Join team Dogs for Good on Monday 3 May 2027 and help create life-changing connections between people and dogs.
We have a small number of charity places available for the Milton Keynes Marathon and Half Marathon 2027, taking place on Monday 3 May. We're looking for runners who are ready to go the distance for people and dogs building brighter futures together.
Whether you're taking on the full marathon or the half marathon, you'll be helping us create more life-changing connections between people and dogs.
Our fundraising pledge is £500 for the full marathon or £300 for the half marathon, with a £30 non-refundable registration fee payable if your application is successful. Every pound you raise will help create more life-changing connections between people and dogs.
Already got your own marathon place through the ballot? Amazing! We'd still love to have you on team Dogs for Good - just get in touch and we'll be there to cheer you on every step of the way.
