Once you are registered you will receive a fundraising pack which will include our special 90th anniversary Blesma t-shirt. You will also be able to join our Remembrance 11k Facebook Community Group, to support your fellow runners!
Track your 11K
The easiest way to track your distance is to link your Strava account to your registration (you will have this option when you sign up). If you don't already have Strava, it is free to download from the Apple or Android app store. You can also use other step counters or tracking devices.
Once you’ve completed your distance and sent us verification, you will receive a special finisher’s pack including a Remembrance 11k medal with a limited edition 90th anniversary lanyard.
Fees & Fundraising
The registration fee is £25. There is no fundraising expectation, but if you would like to raise funds to support our injured veterans, we suggest aiming for £100.
How raising money can help
£25 could help pay for a weekend away enabling an injured veteran to spend quality time with their loved ones
£100 could help pay for home adaptations to enable an injured veteran to live more independently
£200 could help pay for a good quality, lightweight wheelchair enabling an injured veteran to get out and about more easily.
