Usually no, but it depends on how you got your event place. If you’re unsure which category you fall into, our Events Team can help.
Yes. If you secured your place directly with the event organiser and it didn’t cost Guide Dogs anything, you can allocate 100% of your fundraising to Name a Puppy or a fundraising group for example.
No. Because a charity place gives you a benefit, such as guaranteed entry or reduced costs. Fundraising regulations require that all the money you raise stays linked to that event. Redirecting it to Name a Puppy or another fundraising product would be considered a double benefit, which isn’t allowed under IoF guidelines.
This rule applies to your full fundraising total, including any amount raised above your minimum target in relation to your event participation.
Yes absolutely! If you prefer to run with a guide runner, they will be given free race entry. Get in touch to discuss your requirements in more detail.
The race will start in waves between 9.15-11.40am. All runners will receive an individual race day timetable advising you of arrival and estimated start time.
Your Guide Dogs technical running top will be sent out in the post four months prior to race day. Please note this will only be sent to charity runners who have raised £100 and are actively fundraising towards their target. All own place ballot runners will receive their top four months prior too.
You should receive this in your race pack a couple of weeks prior to race day. If it hasn’t arrived please visit the pack collection point the day before the event (don’t forget to take photo ID with you!).
If you’re interested in running wearing one of our ‘Hero the Guide Dog’ mascot suits, let us know within your registration form, under section three ‘Registration information’.
Absolutely! Will we be there cheering you along the route around mile 9 – you won’t be able to miss us!
