Charity places come at a cost to the charity, and sponsorship targets ensure we do not lose out on our investment and are able to raise as much as possible to support our vital work. We ask charity place runners to raise 75% of their sponsorship by the event date, with the remaining fundraising due six weeks after race day. Gift Aid is not included in your sponsorship target, and neither is your registration fee. Registration fees for charity places in events are non-refundable and non-transferrable. They cannot be transferred to someone else or deferred to the following year.
