I want to run for The Fire Fighters Charity, what do I do now?

You can register online for a Gold Bond place for any of the running events by simply selecting the relevant link above. Alternatively you can register by contacting the Charity's Sports and Overseas Fundraising team whose details you will find below.

We ask that participants reserve their Gold Bond place by paying a non-refundable deposit and then pledging to raise an additional amount of money which varies depending on the event.

I've already got a place in an event but would like to raise money for the Charity.

If you've already got your own place for an event we would still love you to run as part of The Fire Fighters Charity running team and raise funds to help injured fire fighters. You will receive the same benefits and support as a Gold Bond runner, all you need to do is contact us and let us know!
