Canalathon

Hundreds of you took to your local towpaths to fundraise to support our work. Your phenomenal efforts will make a huge difference in helping to protect our wildlife, maintain our heritage and keep canals alive.

What is Canalathon?

Canalathon is our virtual fundraising challenge to complete 26.2 miles across the month of June. Walk or run, do it as a team or go solo – it’s your challenge. You choose.

Get active, get outdoors, enjoy the benefits of being by water, and raise as much money as you can to help keep canals alive.

Your impact

Your fundraising will help us to keep canals alive, now and in the future.

£100 helps nature flourish

Your fundraising could help plant 18 apple, pear or plum trees which blossom for insects in spring, and go on to produce fruit to feed birds, animals and people in autumn.

£200 protects our heritage

The money you raise could help protect and ensure the long-term survival of our 200-year-old heritage structures, which have become more vulnerable in the face of climate change.

£300 makes cities greener

Your donations could help upgrade urban towpaths for walkers, runners and cyclists, providing greener ways to commute and exercise.
