Fancy Dress For A Charity Fun Run

It’s that time of year again when we can do something more for our preferred local or international charity. Involve the whole family and make it a day to remember; it teaches the kids the gift of giving to others and they’ll have fun in the process.




Dressing up is always fun, and there is no better time to take advantage of this than on a fund raiser.  Organisations make sure they cater for everyone, so they put on walks and runs to suit every level of fitness, from a children’s one kilometer dog walk to the longer marathons. So there is no excuse for you not to join in.




If you are looking for a theme or ideas of which fancy dress to wear on a charity run or walk, have a look at our suggestions.



Cavemen and Cavewoman – The caveman fancy dress are simple, great fun and easy to wear. You can wear the tunics over warm clothes on wet, chilly days, or as is for summer weather. Watch out for the puddles UGGH.






Fairy - Fairy costumes are popular. In winter you can wear them with leggings and winter weight T shirt to keep you warm. You can add the fairy wings, or just wear the wings with a tutu. 








School girl – The short skirts of the schoolgirl costumes are ideal; they won’t hamper you while you run. Use the make up to apply the school girl freckles and add a wig with plaits to add to the fun.






Devil and angel – Great with make up and wings, these fancy dress costumes are classic choices. Devil ears, tails and trident finish them off, and you can wear the whole outfit or just the wings and ears.







Wings – Butterfly wings or angel and fairy wings are easy to wear and very girly. Many walks start at dusk so maybe the black angel wings are more appropriate, and guys – check out the bat wings. 

Hats – Hats are a thrifty choice for family fund raisers because they aren’t expensive. They are available for adults and children, so check out the cowboy glitter hat, sailor, captain and sheriff hats. (We love the Buffalo Bill hat)

Ears - Bunny, flashing and cat ears are our favourites, and there is a cat set that includes a sequinned bow tie as well as the ears, looks purrrfect with cat make up and whiskers. Or check out the Fever Wild Cat outfit. It’s sexy and cool to wear.






Tip - If you are still stuck, check out the latest news, films and TV, to get ideas, and check out our film and tv fancy dress. There are many great looking outfits that will suit.
