You can expect to hear from your chosen charity within 2 weeks of registering onto your Ultra Challenge. Whilst every charity communicates slightly differently with their fundraisers – most offer advice, fundraising buckets/ donation tins, t-shirts etc.
However you don’t need to wait for them! Follow the guidelines below; set up your online JustGiving sponsorship donation page – and let your friends, family or work colleagues know where to find it – and get started!
If you have not heard from your charity within 2 weeks of signing up – then please email us at: charity@acitonchallenge.com
If you’re supporting a charity, to enable them to track your fundraising; know when you’ve reached your agreed target, and confirm your place with us (for Full Sponsorship & Mixed Funding) – you MUST set up your online fundraising / sponsorship page via JustGiving – under the correct event page . Use the link below.
Many who run & jog can crack the 12 hr/50km target. However, an ‘Ultra March’ is about WALKING at a brisk & consistent pace with like minded challengers to achieve it – a bit like a march! – but taking in the great rest stops & services of the Kent Downs 50 Ultra Challenge!
