Looks like it is US based but I might give it a go.

Looks like a great idea to me, let us know how you get on with it as I'm sure quite a few of us could follow suit!

This looks great! I've been slacking on runs, this might spur me on to run more. Keep us posted on how it goes for you, please?

Planning on either a lazy 5K or a cadence-increasing 5K later so will let you know how it goes :-).

Gah, so I did my run (healthunlocked.com/couchto5... but I completely forgot to install this on the iPhone!

I will install it tomorrow in time for the weekend runs.

So it is a little bit more annoying than something like bounts.it (thanks @secan for healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

Every time you run you pick a charity, start the clock and then at the end stop the clock.

bounts.it, although for a completely different purpose(!) has a much nicer interface, you tell it to hook into your platform of choice (Garmin, starva etc.) and it just works in the background.

Still, it is worth using charitymiles.org as the inconvenience is far outweighed by the benefits.
