Runners in next month’s Edinburgh Marathon have already raised over £20,000 online
using Justgiving’s services.
Justgiving is the official online fundraising partner
of the Syntegra Edinburgh Marathon which takes place on Sunday 15 June 2003. As 
of today 137 runners have created pages on Justgiving, raising £20,598 in sponsored
donations.

Justgiving was also the online fundraising partner of last month’s Flora London 
Marathon. So far more than 3,800 of the runners have raised £1.3 million through
Justgiving.

The Edinburgh Marathon is smaller with no more than 5,000 runners, but Justgiving
says they are encouraged with the runners’ response so far, given that this is their
first involvement with the Marathon.
