How do I run for Barnsley Hospice?
As a charity, we have a limited number of discounted places for those who want to run in support of Barnsley Hospice. If you register for one of our discounted places, you are committing to raising a minimum of £100 sponsorship for the hospice.
These places are limited and we expect them to fill up fast, so we recommend signing up as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. This also maximises your time for training and collecting as much sponsorship for the hospice as possible!
If you miss out on one of our places, you can still take part in the 10K in support of Barnsley Hospice by registering for a full-cost entry through Barnsley Council.
