Entry is free, but we ask that you pledge to raise a minimum sponsorship of £300 to support people living with cancer. To sign up for a charity please click here.

If you have bought a place in the race already and would like to run for us, 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!
This event could raise £535,000 which could pay for 10 Macmillan nurses for a year.
Why should I join Team Macmillan?
As a Team Macmillan runner you'll receive:
