Yes – as long as you are fundraising for the same charity, you can create a team fundraising page on Just Giving (we recommend letting your charity know this is how you will be fundraising together). However, please be advised that the minimum fundraising targets remain per person (not per team), so you will need to reach the combined total fundraising amount on your page for your group.

Only Applicable to Option 2 & 3

All sponsorship goes direct to the Charity via your individual/group JustGiving page.

At least 50% of the ‘sponsorship target’ MUST be with the Charity 3 weeks prior to the Challenge. At this time the Charity agrees to pay the fee for your place to Ultra Challenge (similar to the Self Funding cost – or half of it for Mixed Funding as you’ve already covered half).

Failure to meet the deadline may result in cancellation of your place by your charity.

The remaining 50%, and any extra, should be with your Charity by 4 weeks after the Challenge.

All charity sponsorship and mixed funding places close 4 weeks before each challenge, so that you have enough time to fundraise and reach your target. Self funding places close for online registration on the Tuesday before each challenge.
