To register your interest in a challenge event, please complete our online registration form at w: www.sands.org.uk/get-involved/fundraising/register-your-event. A member of our team will then be in touch. 

If you’re taking part with one of our charity assured places or have your own place in a challenge event we will be able to provide you with a t-shirt and/or running vest, technical t-shirt or cycle jersey. To receive one please register your event and request a top.

Please contact us for our size guides at e: teamsands@sands.org.uk

A member of the Challenge Events Team will be in touch within 3 working days to make sure you are happy with the sponsorship target. As soon as this is confirmed we will send you the link to register and confirm your place for the challenge; and you will then have 4 weeks to redeem your charity entry token. Please note with the London Marathon and Great North Run there is a golden bond application process so the time between registering your interest in the event and you being informed whether you have a place will be longer.

Sadly, we only have a very small fundraising team and due to the large number of challenge events throughout the year it’s not always possible for us to attend every event, although we wish we could. Please email us at e: teamsands@sands.org.uk or call t: 0203 897 6092 to find out whether Sands will be at your challenge event.

You will receive your fundraising pack on average 14 days after you have redeemed your charity entry token.

If you are having problems reaching your fundraising target or having any concerns about reaching it, please do email E: teamsands@sands.org or call T: 0203 897 6092 . We will be able to provide you with ideas and strategies to increase your fundraising.

To get extra resources for your event please email e: fundraising@sands.org.uk or call t: 0203 897 6092. Please note that for extra t-shirts and running vests we usually ask for a donation of £4.50 per garment and £10 for our cycle jerseys and technical t-shirts to help cover costs.

Yes that is absolutely fine. To receive one, please complete our registration form and put it under resources required.

​​​​​​​You'll need to get your own place in the event through the race organisers. Please visit their website to sign up. Once you have your place, we’d still love to have you on the team and support your event – any amount you could raise would be fantastic!
