The deadline exists because we will have started to produce our printed paperwork for the event by this time.

Our Policy on Requests for Free Places at Our Events

We get numerous requests for free places at our events, often for a landmark achievement or due to undertaking a charity challenge. Due to this high demand we are not able to offer free places to everyone that makes this request. Facilitating our events is quite expensive, with outlay going on venue hire, training, licences and other race related equipment such as quality medals. We simply don’t have the funds to give away free places. However we do offer a ‘fair’ compromise in regards to free places. We recognise that without the help and support of marshals and event crew we would not be able to facilitate events as effectively as we do at this time. Therefore we do offer a free place at our challenge events to anyone in exchange for marshaling/ being part of the event crew at our events. If having read this policy you feel that being part of the event crew is something you would be interested in, in exchange for a free place please get in touch with us via the Contact Us page. Please note: Our event crew available slots do change from time to time. We operate a waiting list if we have more volunteers than event crew slots available.
