Berlin Marathon | Running for cats

How can I get a charity place?

Please note our 2025 team is now full. Please complete the form below to apply for a place in the 2026 event. If you have your own place in the event you can still join Team Cats! Please get in touch here.

How much do I have to raise?

For this prestigious marathon there is a registration fee of £50 and we ask for a minimum sponsorship commitment of £1000. This amount could pay for a caesarean operation and the recovery of a cat in need.
