The public ballot will be open from Saturday 20 April 2024 to Friday 26 April 2024. Entrants will find out if they're successful around July 2024.
We're looking for applications that provide lots of detail about why you would like to run for Alzheimer's Society and multiple ideas about how you might fundraise. The more detail the better!
If you'd like to make any updates to your charity place application, please email events@alzheimers.org.uk.
It's incredibly important that each charity place runner meets the minimum sponsorship pledge, to help us fund vital research and services for people affected by dementia.
There is no legal obligation to make up the shortfall, but if you don't meet your target it is likely to impact on your future chances of gaining an event place with our charity.
Please do contact us if you require fundraising advice. In some circumstances it will be possible to have some extra time to meet the fundraising requirement.
We'll aim to let people know the outcome of their application by the end of July 2024.
You can order your top when you complete our registration form or by emailing events@alzheimers.org.uk with your size (XS to XXL) and style (vest/t-shirt).
If you have let us know your size, we will send your top to you in the post approximately a month before race day.
We’ll send out a link to our Training Zone in your welcome emails. Here you will find our training guide and plans for every ability plus loads of other advice covering areas including nutrition, injuries and tapering.
We’ll also give you contact details for our expert running coaches, so you get in touch directly with any questions.
If you’re collecting money on a JustGiving page, there’s nothing you need to do, your sponsorship comes directly to us.
If you have collected any cash, you can bank it and pay in using one of these options:
We ask that you please send in all donations within 6 weeks of the event.
Of course! Please let us know when you sign up by creating a team. Your team members can then join you by clicking on the ‘find’ button and typing in either the team captain’s name or your team name.
The fundraising target for charity places is still £2,000 per person but you're welcome to combine your targets into one team total.
This event is open to everyone aged 18 or over on race day.
