ReRun is no longer accepting donations at HQ and instead facilitating and advising for local collections via running clubs, races and individuals.

Below is a list of larger organisations that accept sports clothing by bulk . You must ring ahead to be sure that they are accepting donations and then you can tailor it according to need.

Please email us if you can’t find what you need and we will try to help!

*see end of page for race tees and end of life trainers and clothes

General do’s and don’t for donating…

Please only donate clean clothing. Clearly label and separate end of life clothes. Clean and tie together shoes. Clean end of life trainers as they are more likely to be recycled  that way.

End of life clothing and shoes….

Many charity shops have a ‘rag man’ that will come and collect clothing that hasn’t sold or is not in a condition to sell. They receive money for this and items are sorted, graded and sold on. Please check in advance with your local charity shops that they will accept them.

Race tees – Race tees are very difficult to pass on. The best course of action here is to reduce the number by offering an opt out (as a race) and only taking one if you know you will wear it (as a runner)

Care4Calais who distribute emergency clothing will accept unisex race tees from sizes Small to Large.

We have yet to find somewhere to pass on large numbers of vests (including charity) and womens cut race tees. (let us know if you find somewhere!)

THANK YOU ALL FOR CONTINUING THIS EPIC ULTRA MARATHON, WE ARE NOT AT THE END YET BUT STEP BY STEP WE GET CLOSER.
