Can you imagine a world without trees? Neither can we!

Trees are life-givers. They’re food-growers, shade-givers, income-earners, planet-coolers. They fight starvation, purify our air, reduce flooding and combat drought.

At International Tree Foundation, we work with local communities to plant trees and restore forests in the places they make the fastest, most lasting impact for people and planet.

Join our Bath Half team and you’ll be planting trees and restoring forests with every step! You’ll help communities in East Africa plant trees that create food and income for today and protect nature for tomorrow. You’ll help restore forests and make havens for wildlife, while protecting our planet against climate change.

And crucially, you’ll be making a difference that will grow for generations.

What to expect as an ITF runner

We support our runners every step of the way, with tips, resources and thank you gifts! When you run with us, you can expect:

  • A welcome pack, complete with an ITF running top to wear while you train and on race day
  • Fundraising advice and resources, including personal support from our fundraising team
  • Top tips ahead of race day
  • A certificate with the number of trees you’ve planted thanks to your fundraising
  • A special thank you tree to plant in your garden (or indoor gift if you don’t have the outdoor space) if you raise over £500

The application process

To apply for one of our charity places or to run as an ‘own place runner’, please head to our website.

There is a registration fee of £25, and a minimum fundraising target of £300.

However, our suggested target for you is £500. That’s at least 166 transformative trees, growing a greener, safer future!
