FAQs:

Is there a minimum age for taking part in the 10k?

Through our charity place, you will need to be a minimum of 17 years old. If you purchase tickets directly through the zoo, the minimum age is 15.

What is the registration fee and how much do I have to fundraise?

The registration fee for this event is £15.00 and we ask all our charity place fundraisers to raise a minimum of £120.00

Please note there is a first fundraising target of £60.00 which is due on the 18th Febuary 2025. The remainder of your fundraising target (£60.00) is due 4 weeks after the event.

Will I get a fundraising top to wear on the day?

Absolutely, we love to send our team a technical t-shirt to wear during the run. We will even get you an iron on name so you can personalise it.

These are usually sent out after your first fundraising target.

How will I get my race pack?

If you’ve entered 2 weeks prior to the race, your bib number and timing chip will be posted to you. You can expect to receive this in the week prior to the run. If for some reason it doesn’t arrive in time, please just visit the information desk on the morning of the race and we can issue you a replacement.

For those who’ve entered closer to the race date, you will be able to collect your race packs at the registration desks in the event village on the day.

When you receive your race packs, please take a couple of minutes to fill out the brief runner Information form which can be found printed on the back of your bib. This will help us greatly in case of an emergency!

Can I take part if I have a disability?

I have a ballot place and would like to fundraise for Spinal Research. Can I do this and will I have a fundraising target?

Congratulations on securing a place in the ballot – we would love to have you join #TeamSpinal! Please select ‘Own Ballot place’ above.

As an own place runner, you won’t have a fundraising target. We just ask that you raise as much as possible so you can to help us fund essential research.
