Your challenge, your way!

Pay a registration fee online and fundraise for Diverse Abilities through three options with different registration fees and fundraising targets:

1. Full Sponsorship: pay the lowest registration fee and we’ll cover the rest of your entry with a small fundraising target, aiming to hit at least 50% of your target three weeks before the event.

2. Mixed Funding: pay a slightly higher registration fee, we’ll cover the rest of your entry fee, and there’ll be a lower fundraising target because you’re covering more of the costs. You should aim to have raised at least 50% of your target three weeks before

3. Self Funding: cover the full cost of your entry fee and your fundraising target can be set to whatever you wish it to be, with no time deadlines prior to the event taking place.
