Question 1

Do I need to fundraise for this event?

Accepted Answer

We would love you to raise as much as you can by taking part in this event! Your ticket price covers the cost of putting the event on, so anything you can raise will go directly to helping local children and their families who rely on Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust or James Hopkins Trust for support every day! When you sign up you'll receive a FREE fundraising pack in the post and details on how to set-up a fundraising page.

Question 2

What is the distance?

Accepted Answer

It is a 5K (3.1 miles) course, made up of two 2.5k laps. You do not have to complete both laps and can finish after 2.5km and will still receive your medal. Remember it's not a race so you can walk, dance, skip your way through the course - you don't have to run!

Question 3

Is it safe for children?

Yes - however we recommend over 4's only to ensure they keep their sunglasses on to protect their eyes from the powdered paint.

All children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
