Will you run for good with us?

By running, swimming or cycling you can raise support for Volunteer Movement's projects. You do not need to set a time — some of our volunteers complete the course walking.

What is it?

The charity run

Volunteers who want to support the projects and activities Volunteer Movement runs can also do so by taking part in sporting events — running above all, but swimming and similar activities too.

A volunteer taking part in a sporting event tells the people around them: “I am running to support this project of Volunteer Movement; would you donate to my campaign to show that you support me?”

They do this through social media, email and face-to-face conversation, and use secure online tools for the donations. In this way they volunteer as an engaged citizen and complete a charity run in support of a social responsibility project.

How does it work?

Transparency and assurance

Among the supported NGOs

By meeting a set of criteria and requirements we first joined the transparency platform of the Açık Açık Association, and then became one of the NGOs supported by Adım Adım.

Under law no. 2860

We run all our campaigns under the Fundraising Law with the permission of the provincial governorship. We meet accountability and transparency criteria for every donation made.

Which events, and when?

2026 run calendar

You do not have to run — you can swim at the Bosphorus Cross-Continental Swim or cycle at other events. The calendar can change during the season; the current list of events you can open a campaign for is always on Adım Adım's İyilik Peşinde Koş page (in Turkish).

In six steps

How do you open your campaign?

Create a profile on Adım Adım's İyilik Peşinde Koş (IPK) site.
You can open your campaign 30 days before the event you are raising for. Go to the “Yardım Kampanyaları” menu, then “kampanya aç”.
Choose which Adım Adım event you are opening a campaign for. In the list of NGOs and projects that appears, find and select “Gönüllü Hareketi”.
Write your campaign goals: how much do you want to raise, and from how many people? You can change these at any time.
Fill in the “Neden Koşuyorum” (Why I run) section of your campaign page — then you can start spreading the word.
Share your campaign page with the people around you — email, social media, WhatsApp — and ask them to donate.

Good to know

A few reminders

Opening a fundraising campaign for an event and registering for the event are two different things. To run the Istanbul Marathon, for example, you register for the race itself; the fundraising campaign is opened on the Adım Adım IPK page.
You can join the weekly training sessions of Adım Adım volunteers in Istanbul, Izmir, Ankara, Bursa and Antalya. You will meet other volunteers and keep your preparation regular.
Nobody expects you to set a time or to run all the way. Some of our volunteers complete the course walking. And if you do want a good time, we will support that too :)
Volunteer Movement Association is one of the Star Teams among the NGOs in the Adım Adım network. We are working towards becoming a Young and then a Big Team; your support on that road would mean a lot.
