FAQ's

 

How do I sign up?

To sign up to the challenge, you can register here.

Make sure to also join the Walk 100k in March Facebook group and Strava group.

Once you’re in the group, you can introduce yourself, get tips, be inspired and find out anything you want to know about the challenge! 

Is there an entry fee?

There is no entry fee for this challenge but we do however ask you to fundraise as part of your challenge. A page will be set up for you when you register which is really easy to use to collect sponsorship.

Is there a fundraising target?

We have no minimum or maximum amount that we would like you to raise. From our point of view, no matter how much money you raise, it will go towards supporting bereaved families across the UK.

If you raise £150 or more by the end of the challenge, you will receive a lovely incentive. 

How do I raise money?

Your fundraising page will be created for you when you register. You're in control of who you share this with, across your social media, Whatsapp, email, text and anywhere else your friends and family might see it. They can click onto your page to sponsor you, leave a good luck message and view any updates you might post or activity you might log.

Can I just raise money offline with a sponsorship form?

Absolutely. You can collect sponsorship in any way you like, if you would like a sponsorship form you can download a sponsorship form.

Can I raise money on another online platform like Justgiving?

Yes, if you would like to set up a fundraising page on another online platform, we recommend JustGiving. 

How do I get my free t-shirt?

We'll send you a Sands t-shirt and paper tracker after you register in the post and this can take up to 10-14 working days from the date you registered. 

 

 

When will I get my fundraising pack and t-shirt?

You should receive your pack within 10-14 working days of signing up. # 

If you don't receive your pack after this time, please email walk@sands.org.uk and we can look into this for you.

Please make sure you add your email address when registering as you will receive a notification from notifications@partridgesuk.com to confirm when your pack has been dispatched and is on its way to you.

My family want to do the challenge with me. Can they have t-shirt?

No problem! Simply ask them to fill out the registration form and we will send them a pack. 

If they're not fundraising, you can buy additional t-shirts.

How do I keep track of how many miles I've done?

We suggest using the Strava app to keep a track of how many kilometres you do. You can join our Strava club for the challenge here. 

Once you're done for the day, mark off your kilometres on your paper tracker. 

 

 

Do I have to walk my kilometres, or can I run, jog, climb or dance?

It’s up to you! We think most people will walk the kilometres, but if you want to complete them a different way, then go for it! Just be sure to post your progress and updates on your Fundraising page so friends and family can cheer you on and we can see how you’re doing too! 

What if I don't complete the challenge?

The only thing that matters is that you challenge yourself. Do as much as you can. Every kilometre helps. If you need to reschedule or postpone your walk please do get in touch with the team on walk@sands.org.uk
