HAVE YOU GOT YOUR OWN ENTRY IN A RUNNING EVENT?
If you have an entry in a running event we would really appreciate you using it to raise money for The Gingerbread Centre, here for families facing tough times. We offer one-to one and whole family support to build stability, well being and brighter futures, because every family deserves more than just a roof over their head.
We are truly grateful for whatever you are able to raise in whatever run you're doing, whether it's a 5km or a marathon and in return we will give you amazing fundraising and training advice - guaranteed. Everyone who fundraises for us gets a free DIAMOND membership plan to the Sapphire Running Zone. Details of how to access your membership is in the email you'll be sent when you join the team below. There are also some great rewards when you hit your fundraising targets!
If you raise £250 we will refund your race entry fee (up to £40), so you get to run it for free!
Would you like a brand new pair of running shoes? If you raise £1000 you can have them! That's right, raise £1000 and we'll send you a gift card for £150 that you can spend on running shoes! You choose and we'll get them sent directly to your door. If you get to £500 we'll send you a gift card for £75 instead. That's how much we appreciate your support (your goodies will be dispatched and the race refund made on completion of your event). Thank you so much!
Decide on the type of event you'd like to do. If it's a running event (you can walk these as well in most cases) there are lots of options from 5km and beyond. Enter the event on the event website and then join our team by going to the 'JOIN US' section below and hitting 'Sign Up'. That way we can then support you with training plans and fundraising ideas. If you raise a certain amount we will then refund your entry fee! Find out more in Step 3.
The next step is to set up a fundraising page on the JustGiving website. We'll show you how to do that and how to share it with your friends and family. We have lots of fundraising ideas that we'll give you including the destination based ideas below. (We use these for our 30 Day Challenge runners and they work really well.) There are videos, playlists and themed fundraising ideas! You can download our fundraising guide below.
We'd love you to raise whatever you can. There are no fixed targets if you have your own entry in an event, but if you do raise a certain amount we've got some great rewards!
-
Raise £250 and get your entry fee refunded, up to the value of £40
-
Raise £500 and we'll also send you a £75 gift card for our online store
-
Raise £1000 and we'll upgrade the gift card to £150, enough for a brand new pair of running shoes!
