How to register
We would love for you to join us at this iconic event, taking steps to help everyone affected by ovarian cancer.
There are two ways that you can join Team Target:
Charity Place
We have a limited number of guaranteed places in this event.
For this option, we have a £20 non-refundable registration fee and ask that you pledge to raise the £400 minimum fundraising target – with this we could fund more than a day of life-saving research.
Own Place
If you were one of the lucky ones and secured your own place via the Royal Parks Half Marathon ballot we would still love for you to join Team Target!
For this option, we have no registration fee or minimum fundraising target, but we hope you'll raise as much as you can to stop ovarian cancer devastating lives.
We will ask for proof you have secured your own place independently from the charity – so have your confirmation email ready.

A fundraising guide filled with help, advice and top tips to increase your sponsorship.
Free fundraising materials to help you raise awareness of your challenge and the charity.

Teresa's Story
|
"I lost one of my best friends, Grace, to ovarian cancer last year. She was 31, and had had two recurrences after being diagnosed in her twenties, leading to the removal of one of her ovaries. She had a tradition of doing half marathons within a year of finishing chemo, and when we met, we became running buddies and fast friends.
I run half marathons because Grace no longer can. I do it to raise money for charities helping others like Grace, and for the hope that eventually no one else will go through what she did. I run in her memory and in her honour, because doing so keeps a small bit of her alive.” – Teresa |
