About The Event
How to enter
There are two ways you can join Team Macmillan in this event.
Secure a charity place
Bag yourself one of our charity places and help us be there for people living with cancer in the UK. We ask for a £30 entry fee and a minimum fundraising pledge of £300 (excluding gift aid).
Use your own place
The only public entry ballot is now closed. If you were successful in securing a place through the race organisers then we would love to have you running for Team Macmillan.
Just sign up here and we'll get a free Macmillan running top sent to you. There's no minimum sponsorship, just raise as much as you can!
