Under 18s are welcome but must be accompanied by a parent/guardian for the duration of the event. Please let our team know of anyone under the age of 18 looking to register prior to sign up.
Under 18s taking part cannot sign themselves up – they must be signed up by someone over 18.
[/su_tab] [su_tab title=”CAN I CHOOSE A CHARITY NOT LISTED?” disabled=”no” anchor=”” url=”” target=”blank” class=””]If there is a charity you would like to fundraise for that does not appear on our list, we ask that you speak with your preferred Charity about what you would like to do, and ask them to register with us via our short contact form which can be found on our website page www.eliteadventures.co.uk/charityregistration
Once they’ve registered with us, it will take about 5-7 working days to add them onto our registration forms, and you can then sign up to your chosen challenge in aid of them.
Alternatively you can Self Fund your place and fundraise for them independently with no fundraising commitment.
Please note: the above is relevant for Charity Sponsorship or Mixed Funding places only. If you are entering as a Self Funder you can fundraise for any charity of your choice (only if you want to) & we do not need to be informed.
[/su_tab] [su_tab title=”CAN I FUNDRAISE FOR TWO CHARITIES?” disabled=”no” anchor=”” url=”” target=”blank” class=””]If you are entering on a Charity Sponsorship or Mixed Funding place then NO – you must select one prime charity for your fundraising, and they must be registered with us. This is because your charity will be paying for a portion of your place on the event (out of the fundraising that you generate). If you wish to also fundraise for another charity, you can do so on your own terms but only as long as you reach the minimum fundraising target your first/prime charity.
If you join as a Self Funder however, you have complete flexibility on who you fundraise for – with no targets or deadlines, and no cost to those charities.
[/su_tab][su_tab title=”WHEN WILL I HEAR FROM MY CHARITY?” disabled=”no” anchor=”” url=”” target=”blank” class=””]If you have chosen to fundraise for a charity, we will pass your details over to them and you can expect to hear from them within 14 days. If for some reason you do not hear from your charity after this time, please contact them directly or email [email protected][/su_tab][/su
