How far do I have to run?

You can decide which challenge would best suit you. There are four distances to choose from:

  • 5k
  • 10k
  • Half marathon (13.1 miles)
  • Marathon (26.2 miles)

When does the run take place?

Any day in May, the choice is yours. Sign up now and start stretching!

Where can I do my miles?

Anywhere in the world! This challenge doesn't have a set location, so you can complete your run local to you or at a destination of your choice.

Can I get a t-shirt to wear for my run?

Absolutely! You can buy a purple Cats Protection tech t-shirt when signing up to wear with pride during your challenge.  You also have the option to purchase a neck buff when you register to help keep you sheltered from the elements during your training! The t-shirt size guide can be found here.

How much money do I have to raise?

It costs £22 to sign up, which includes your medal, and this will support our work to make sure every cat finds a loving home. You can also set up a JustGiving page and fundraise through your virtual running challenge, meaning your miles will make an even bigger impact on the cats that need our help.

Why should I do Miles for Moggies?

You’ll feel amazing inside and out as you conquer your virtual run. Miles for Moggies will encourage you to tackle a new personal challenge to benefit both your physical and mental health, and all the while you’ll know that your efforts are helping to make a better life for cats.

How your miles will help moggies

Without your support, we simply wouldn’t be able to provide the level of care we do for cats on a daily basis.

  • £20 could cover the cost of 10 blankets, providing comfort and warmth to a number of cats while they wait to find their new home 
  • Just £50 could cover the cost of feeding 250 cats in our care for a day
  •  £100 would cover the full cost of neutering for two cats

You can choose any local Cats Protection to receive 100% of your registration fee and the funds you raise from your challenge, helping the cats in your area.

  • Nominate a local Cats Protection to support through your challenge
  • Choose your run distance and add a t-shirt and neck buff (if you wish)
