The Town and Gown Series raises vital funds for Muscular Dystrophy UK. So while fundraising is not compulsory (unless you purchased a fundraiser ticket), we encourage all runners to fundraise what they can to help beat muscle-wasting conditions sooner. Visit our fundraising page for hints and tips, and to set up an online giving page.

This year we have added an option to purchase a 'fundraiser ticket'.

All entrants purchasing a fundraising ticket will commit to a £50 minimum fundraising target for MDUK. Upon entering you will be set up with a Sports Giving fundraising page to share with your network and also add any donations or offline fundraising to. If the minimum £50 target is raised by 11 April, you will be sent a free MDUK running vest in the post with your race number. £50 must be raised by 31 May 2022.

Race Number 

If you register before April 11, your race number will be sent out to you in the post. After this date, you'll need to collect it on the day.

You can transfer your place to someone else, and there’s an admin fee of £5 per transfer. The deadline to transfer your place to someone else is Friday 26th March 2021. It won’t be possible to transfer your place after this date.

On the day, there will be trophies for the following categories

Age group prizes: first male and female in age groups 9-11, 12-13 and 14-15

Keep an eye on the website in the coming months for more information. If you wish to support the day as a caterer, contact us.

Once you’ve finished the race, we’ll give you water and a goody bag with a medal and some free product samples.

Entry fees no longer include an event T-shirt.
