As teams will vary in numbers we shall have a system to ensure that the results are worked out on a pro-rata basis. (The amount of money raised by the team divided by the number of team members who ran)

Yes. Team entries must be in by Tuesday 14th June.

How do we enter a team?

Team leaders need to contact Nicholas@dunn310.freeserve.co.uk  to enter a team in the first place. Please give name of team, contact phone and e-mail, name of leader.

Each team member completes an entry form and clearly identifies the team and team leader. This can be posted individually with the entry fee to the address on the form or submitted as a package by the team leader. If  team members wish to enter online using PayPal they may do so but must inform us by mailing  Nicholas@dunn310.freeserve.co.uk  and indicating  which team they are in.

Team leaders can obtain more details from info@oldburyfunrun.co.uk

Simon Shaw’s Fundraising Page Fundraiser: 24 hour pre Oldbury Fun Run for CLIC Sargent.

Simon Shaw My page: http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/SimonShaw100

Thank you for sponsoring me for undertaking the 24 hour challenge. Remember, no targets, just as many laps as possible in 24 hours! I will be starting the race at midday on the Saturday, running/walking through the night to finish with everyone else on the Sunday. It would be great if you could join me during the period. If you want to, please email me smnshw@yahoo.com and let me know what time you want to join in. It will be safest to wait for me in the Anchor Inn car park. Wear something bright if you intend to run through the dark hours! See you soon,

Entries are now being taken online. You can also download an entry form on this website. Forms will shortly be available at Thornbury Motors, Bonds Estate agents in Castle St, Thornbury, Elite Gym and The Chantry in Thornbury.
