Run for YPL. Fund a young leader with every mile.
Our runners turn training miles into direct support for young environmental leaders. Whether you have a place already or are looking for one, you can raise for YPL at any race in the world.

Common questions.
Do I need my own place?
No. We hold a small number of charity places each year, and we also support runners who already have a ballot or club place.
Is there a minimum to raise?
Charity places carry a minimum fundraising target, which we agree with you in writing before you commit. Own place runners have no minimum.
Which races can I run?
Any of them. Marathons, half marathons, ultras and fun runs all count.
