How to get involved

We'd love you to apply to join #TeamSpinal. Complete our form to tell us why you want to run and how you would reach your fundraising target. Please include as much information as possible as this will be passed onto the panel who will select the successful participants. Successful applicants will be asked to pay the £100 registration fee to confirm their place.

Wheelchair entries: Please email us details of your injury and level of fitness as there is a different process for these entries.

Have your own place? 
If you are lucky enough to secure a ballot place we'd love you to join #TeamSpinal. You will receive all the perks of being part of the team and all we ask is that you raise as much as you can. All sponsorship will help us develop treatments to restore feeling and mobility for people paralysed as a result of a spinal cord injury. Email the Events Team today!
