How To Run The SuperHalfs 2025 For Charity: What Is SuperCharity?

From the modern streets of Copenhagen to the famous bridges of Lisbon, the SuperHalfs carry you across six amazing cities, with all roads leading to the SuperMedal. Open to all runners, this ultimate 78.6-mile challenge allows you to run across Europe with the opportunity to secure the coveted SuperMedal and take your place in the SuperHalfs Hall of Fame. 

With the SuperHalfs exponentially growing in popularity, gaining entry to all six races can be a challenge - the events have even started moving to a ballot system for entry to make general entry opportunities fair for runners. 

That’s where the SuperCharity series entry comes in. As the official charity and technology partner of the SuperHalfs, we are proud to be the exclusive provider of this charity-focused series ‘voucher’ that offers you guaranteed entry into all the events in the Series when you run for any of our amazing partner charities. 

In this article, we will cover what the SuperHalfs and SuperCharity Series Entry is, how to enter, and why you should run the SuperHalfs for charity.

What Is The SuperHalfs Series?

The SuperHalfs is comprised of six half marathons scattered across breathtaking European cities, including Prague, Berlin, Copenhagen, Lisbon, Cardiff, and Valencia. Races in the Series are involved because they are considered some of the best half marathon events in Europe and indeed the world, playing host to world records and welcoming thousands of runners each year. These halves can be completed at any time and you can log each result automatically onto what’s called the SuperPassport by registering your involvement in the Series. Once you complete all six races, you receive the legendary SuperMedal (pictured below). The SuperHalfs is a challenge intended for all runners of any level; it’s “an extraordinary running series for ordinary runners”! 

What Is The SuperCharity Series Entry?

The SuperCharity Series Entry is a ‘voucher’ that guarantees you entry into all six races. All that is required is to pay a £175 (refundable) deposit and commit to fundraising a total of £1,950 across the six races (£325/race) for your chosen cause or charity. Runners can complete the six series in any order, however, they need to hit their first £325 of fundraising to ‘unlock’ the first race on their SuperPassport, getting one step closer to the SuperMedal. If you complete the full fundraising target before the culmination of your final race, your deposit will be refunded back to you too!

If you buy a 2025 Series Entry, you should plan to start stamping your passport that year – the next available race to get started will always be signposted to you on the website  so that you can get cracking. Plus, the sooner you get started, the earlier your chosen charity can feel the impact of the fundraising.

How Do You Enter The SuperHalfs?

Step 1: Create a SuperPassport on the official SuperHalfs website (this passport number can be input when you complete registration for an event, automatically tracking your results)
Step 2: Register to run individual races or choose the SuperCharity Series Entry to guarantee entry into all six races and make your miles mean more
Step 3: Fundraise, run and earn your passport stamps for each race
Step 4: Complete all six races and earn your SuperMedal!
