If you would like to be sure of starting in the same wave as your friends, why not nominate one of you to be a Team Co-ordinator and group yourself together in a team as you register.

You can wear a tribute placard to dedicate your participation to someone you have lost to breast cancer or who is fighting the disease. To obtain your placard, tick the box on the registration form or visit our special placard tent on the day.
