Charities
London - The Extra Mile
London – The Extra Mile
When you run with purpose, you run The Extra Mile – our unique program that makes a tangible social difference to your city, which will last long after the teams cross the finish line. We are delighted to once again be working with Greenhouse Sports for the 2020 race in London.
Simply by participating in the race, a percentage of your team’s race fee will be donated to The Extra Mile program in London, which will support and promote projects over the next year using the power of sport and physical activity.
The best part is, you get to help decide where funds go by choosing a cause you care about, and running for it. When you complete your personal profile on our website you will choose one of three cause to run for. Then, on race night, your lap in the Bloomberg Square Mile Relay won’t just be for your team, but also for The Extra Mile cause you selected.
The cause with the quickest average time from all our runners will win the donation, a minimum of US$20,000, which Greenhouse Sports will use to address the winning cause across a year-long project. More information on the chosen causes will be announced shortly.
