Step 1. Choose your Marathon
You can choose any game and play on any console or PC. You must play during Fri 8 to Sun 10 March 2024 and raise donations on your JustGiving page to complete the Marathon.
Choose your marathon distance: 6 hours, 12 hours, or 24 hours. Split up your gaming over the 8-10 March to include breaks and rest. For example, you could complete a 6 hour marathon in two 3 hour sessions on different days. Think carefully before committing to a single 12 or 24 hour session, and if you need to, stop.

Step 2. Set up your fundraising page
Watch this space for the JustGiving team page. Once it’s set up (we’ll let you know), you can click ‘Start Fundraising’ to set up your page in 3 minutes. You’ll then be ready for the Marathon challenge.
If you want to, you can edit your page with your own bio and fundraising target. Watch Average Mike’s step-by-step guide for how to set up your JustGiving page.
JustGiving offers you a range of integrations with Twitch to make your stream as exciting and fun as possible. Go further and download our free Become Players stream package & overlays to upload to your stream. Give yourself time to get your stream set-up ready.
Step 3. Raise the hype
Share your challenge with your community to build the hype, raise more donations, and earn greater rewards. If you’re streaming, include the link to your JustGiving page on your stream.
