How can i organise a marathon to raise money?

Basically im 14 and i want to do a marathon next year in memory of my best friend and i want to raise money for a charity for her. Any help would be great, because i don't know how to organise it. thanks!|||Basically you need to get permission of you city or municipality because you are running it on their streets or roads. They will want to see proof of insurance (in case somebody dies or keels over with a heart attack) and how many volunteers you have (to distrubute wate and gel packs). The would also want you to pay for the police necessary to oversee the race, block off streets, that kind of stuff. I haven't included all the supplies you might need, ambulance services, timing services, awards or publicity, to name some of the other stuff you might need, because we already far beyond what most grown ups can pay, much less a 14 year olds allowance. Most organizations that due this have a corporate sponsor which means a company that will pay for it in exchange for publicity. That should probably be your first step because without the money you won't be able to do it. And I would suggest you start with a 5k because for the kind of money necessary to run a marathon the company is going to ask what kind of experience do you have doing this.


Good luck and sorry about your friend.
