Charity donation

To celebrate the launch of the Metropolitan Times, a collaboration with Tracksmith, we have two items for charity auction (see details below). Simply bid on an item, pay an amount of your choice and we’ll pick two winners. All the donations will go to running charities.

• Girls on the Run empowers young girls through a combination of running and interactive lessons that build confidence, social skills, and healthy habits. Their programs aim to inspire girls to be joyful, healthy, and confident while fostering positive emotional, social, and physical development.
• The Running Charity is a London-based nonprofit that empowers young people aged 16–25 who are experiencing homelessness or complex needs by combining running with tailored youth work and wellbeing support. Through structured fitness programs and personal development coaching, the charity helps participants build confidence, resilience, and a sense of community to support long-term positive change.

• You can bid any amount (min $5/£5/€5 – be generous as this fully goes to support a running charity) and the winner for each will be chosen randomly.
• Once you’re placed your bid here, fill in this Google form.
• Winners will be selected and contacted after the London marathon.
