Important sponsorship information

If your application form is successful, your minimum sponsorship of £2000 (excl. Gift Aid & Reg Fee) will go to The Royal Parks charity – it WILL NOT go to a different charity.

Please note our charity places are in high demand, therefore we would expect you to raise at least £500 (excluding Gift Aid & Registration Fee) of your minimum sponsorship target by 30th June 2022 to show your commitment to the charity place, failure to do so can result in The Royal Parks charity withdrawing your charity place from the event. (If you join Team Royal Parks between 1st June 2022 and 23rd August 2022, we would expect you to raise this amount by 30th September 2022).

Got your own place through the ballot?

Why not run for The Royal Parks charity? No registration fee necessary and there is no minimum sponsorship. All we ask is that you set up a fundraising page and fundraise as much as you can! Please email challenges@royalparks.co.uk or call 0300 061 2084 to join Team Royal Parks.

Why run and fundraise for The Royal Parks charity?

Our eight Royal Parks are some of Britain’s most loved green spaces, covering 5,000 acres and enjoyed by more than 77 million people a year - from local Londoners to visitors from around the globe.

The parks provide essential quiet spaces for people to escape the pressures of daily life, improve their physical and mental wellbeing and discover the wonders of the natural world. They've been a part of London's identity for hundreds of years.

Your fundraising will help us to care for the parks, conserving their natural landscapes and keeping them accessible for everyone. Run with us to keep the Royal Parks beautiful and bursting with life for all to enjoy, for today and future generations!
