Ready for your next challenge? Join Team Cats for this world-class European race and make a real difference to the cats and kittens that need our help.
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.
We have a limited number of places available, and therefore ask you to complete an application form with as much detail about your fundraising plans as possible. We'll carefully review your application before Cats Protection places are allocated.
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.
If you were successful in getting a ballot place, congratulations! We'd love to welcome you to Team Cats. Make your marathon more meaningful by using your place for Cats Protection.
Join our team of Cat Champions to get a Cats Protection running vest, then simply set up a fundraising page and raise whatever you can to help the cats and kittens.
We'll be with you every step of the way, from sign-up to the finish line! When you join Team Cats, you’ll get a first-class experience including:
We help an estimated 157,000 cats and kittens a year through our national network which includes around 185 volunteer teams and 32 cat centres. We also provide an array of cat care information and support, promote the benefits of neutering, and seek to educate people of all ages about cats and their care.
You're able to nominate any local Cats Protection to receive 100% of the money you raise from your challenge, helping the cats in your chosen area.
