Got your own place?
If you were one of the lucky few to secure a place through the ballot or qualify with a Good for Age entry, we would love for you to join our team.
There is no fundraising target for runners with their own place. We simply ask that you raise as much as you can to help support young people. In return, you'll receive the same first-class support as our charity place runners and become part of an incredible team of people going the distance to make a difference.
