How it works
Each charity buys a set number of places and picks its own runners from the people who apply, so you apply to the charity, not to the race. If you are chosen you pay a small registration fee and promise to raise the charity's minimum.
Most charities ask you to raise about 2,000 to 3,000 pounds, plus a registration fee of 50 to 150 pounds. Overseas charities usually ask for 3,000 to 10,000 US dollars.
