Joining Team Target

I got my own place through the ballot. Can I still join Team Target?

add remove

Yes, we would love for you to join our team and you'll receive the same support as someone who is running with a charity place.

There is no minimum fundraising target - we just hope you'll raise as much as you can!

Please note, we do ask for proof of your own place to avoid confusion or disappointment.

Race Pack

When will I receive my race pack?

The event organisers will be sending your race pack two weeks before the event. This will contain your all-important Race Number and Timing Chip.

If you don’t live in the UK, you will need to collect your Event Pack from a city centre location (Date and Location TBC)

Whether you requested a running vest or t-shirt, we'll post this to you approximately one month before the event.

How does my fundraising help?

Your support makes all the difference to ensure that we can continue working to improve early diagnosis, fund life-saving research and provide support to women with ovarian cancer.

£50 could give 50 people the right symptom information, making sure they access support as early as possible.

£70 could update training for 10 GPs on ovarian cancer symptoms and best practice for early diagnosis.

£125 could pay for half a day of ground-breaking medical research to find more effective treatments for the future.
