Participants are challenged to Run 31 Miles in May to raise funds for Marie Curie, so we can so we can provide more care for people at the end of life, whatever the illness. The challenge officially starts on 1st May.

Nope, this event is free for anyone to take part. However, any money you can raise for Marie Curie would really help us to reach more people who need our support.

You'll be sent a Marie Curie technical running t-shirt to wear with pride throughout your challenge and you'll get exclusive access to our runners zone!

• Raise £30 and stay hydrated with a sleek metal water bottle!
• Reach £150 and add a medal to your collection!

The only thing that matters is that you challenge yourself. However much you achieve, we're so grateful for your support and for raising much needed funds for Marie Curie.

No; you can take part if you're 10 or 110! But, if you're under 16, you will need a parent or guardian to sign you up to the challenge. Please email events@social.mariecurie.org.uk with permission from your parent or guardian.

To reduce costs were sending items out in batches. Here's when you can expect to get your goodies:

• T-shirts are sent out regularly throughout the challenge, starting from late March. If you've signed up recently, yours will be on its way soon!
• Water bottles are sent in batches approximately every 2 weeks. If you're eligible, you'll receive yours during one of these scheduled dispatches.
• Medals are a special reward for completing the challenge and will be sent after the event ends. Keep an eye on your post - we can't wait to celebrate your achievement!

This is your challenge, and we encourage you to do it your way. Some people will do it as part of their usual workout and others might choose to add it in addition. The important thing is that you're doing something that challenges you. This will vary from person to person, so tailor the challenge however you like. 

Absolutely! It's your personal challenge and we encourage everyone to adapt it to suit their needs and goals.

Unfortunately it appears that Facebook have recently removed that option. We recommend setting up a a JustGiving   page instead.

Yes. You can send them this link to register for the challenge.

All sponsorship will come directly to Marie Curie. You don't have to worry about this; it happens automatically.
