    Hi does anyone know what the minimum sponsorship is to take part in the run for life as finding it hard to get sponsorship as other people I know well are doing it?

    You'd have thought that would be the norm. Did they ACTUALLY place a minimum? Seriously?????

    What part of "there is no minimum" is confusing you?

    There was a minimum before, or possibly a different run. Think it was 25euro

    Not sure what it was but there was certainly a min fundraising amount that was required in prev years. Think it may have been around 100e...thats what somebody mentioned to me at the weekend anyway,

    I only remember this as people I had worked with were planning on taking part and I said I'd run with them but then found out I'd have had to raise money first and I couldn't just pay a entry fee like with normal events.

    I'd imagine the dropped the min fundraising amount as they may have been loosing people to other running events...since there's so many to choose from.

    The previous minimum was €250 which put off a lot of individuals. Great that they have dropped the minimum and hopefully the numbers taking part will be maintained and now with the introduction of a 5 mile option it should attract a bigger participation.

    I'm speaking about the previous ones you clown. Is that clear enough for your brain?
