How do I get a place in an event?
We have a number of guaranteed places in the following
races:
All we ask you for is a non refundable
registration fee and a pledge to
raise a certain amount depending on the event. It is really simple
– take a look at the various running events, then just download an
application form or register online if available.
Alternatively contact the events team on 020 7324
4172 or email
us with all your details.
While training, and especially on event days, runners are
plagued with potential injuries. To prevent, or treat, your running
injuries equip youself with our first
aid for runners guidelines.
What happens after I have registered?
On receiving your completed application form or online
registration, the events team will send you a welcome pack which
includes details about our work, fundraising advice and sponsor
forms. We will then be in touch with you again before the race to
send you further details about your run and your St John running
vest.
Remember that we are here to help, so if you have any queries
about your run, including what time the race starts, what is the
best time to get there, where to put your running number or any
other questions you might have, please contact us on 020
7324 4172 or email
us.
If you have received your welcome pack but haven't heard
anything else from us since and it is the week before the race,
please give us a call on the number above.
What if I want to run as part of a company, sports club or
team?
If you think you can put together a team of runners from your
company, sports club or a group of friends, please contact us on
020 7324 4172 or email us as we may be able to
reserve you a set number of places.
