Sponsorship/Donation commitment:
Your entry fee pays for the organisation of the event, so we ask for a minimum sponsorship/donation from each participant of £20 which will help local families affected by domestic abuse. Anything & everything over this will be greatly appreciated.
It is a requirement that you read the Terms and Conditions before entering any of the races; these are displayed on the next page, after you click 'checkout'. However for your convenience, we have collated two that you must be aware of before signing up:
- Entry fees will not be refunded.** However, under the Distance Selling Regulations you have the right to cancel, for any reason, up to and including the 14th working day after the date of registration. ** Unless you have opted for the Refundable Booking insurance in your registration.
If you wish to exercise your statutory right to cancel please notify us in writing by letter or by e-mail within this period. RISE will then refund any sums paid (less administrative fee). After this period your registration fee is non-refundable. - Your listed emergency contact cannot also be running any of the other races
Once you sign up, a fundraising page is set up automatically for you, or you can create a JustGiving page here - we will have great prizes for whoever fundraises the most, so make sure you get your friends and family to donate and see where you end up on our virtual leaderboard! Personalising your online sponsorship page is easy and will help your fundraising efforts. If you need a physical/paper sponsorship form, please email fundraising@riseuk.org.uk.
