Join the race to save the Orangutan.
If you enjoy running marathons this is for you - We have a number of charity places available for next year!
We are sure you’re aware that Orangutans are classified as an endangered species and without urgent action they could be extinct within our lifetimes.
YOU can do something to help – register your interest today
Raise money for Orangutan Appeal UK by taking part in a running event, whatever your ability. Check out the table of upcoming races below and contact us for more information
If there’s a sponsored race or other sporting event that we haven’t included, you can still support us. We have a fundraising pack for any occasion, all over the world.
These magnificent apes need your help. The funds raised will go towards Appeal projects, which means you are literally running for their rescue & rehabilitation.
