Run for your Parks!
Chester Squirrel is delighted to announce that runner registrations are now open for Team Squirrel 2012!
If you love London’s Royal Parks as much as we do, please join Chester and his team of sporty supporters, and run in this year’s Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon on Sunday 7 October.
Embrace your inner squirrel and conker the race today!
Becoming a Squirrel is easy, we ask all our runners to pay a £50 registration fee to secure your place on the start line, we then ask you pledge to raise only £300 in sponsorship. Take a look at Chester’s top tips for squirreling away your nuts and hitting your sponsorship target.
- Secure your place today, just visit our Virgin Money Giving Event Page and click on “Start Fundraising” on the right hand side to pay your £50 registration fee.
- If you would like any further information, have any questions or you would like to pay by cheque or credit card over the phone please email teamsquirrel@royalparksfoundation.org or phone Sara on 0207 036 8049.
