FAQs

How do I register for a charity place?

add remove

Click on the Register Now button on the event you would like to participate in and complete the registration form.  You will need to pay the registration fee which is used to cover the entry fee into the race.  You will also be asked if you would like to make a donation to your page - this is an important step as it sets the tone for future donations.  As soon as payment has been done, a fundraising page will be opened for you.

What if I already have a ballot place?

We’ll help you prepare with a fitting at our London office and tips for training with the extra weight.
