You can join the Help the Aged running team whether you already have your own place, or you want a guaranteed race entry with us. You could be an experienced runner who knows what a thrill it is to take part in the UK's biggest running events, or a beginner looking for a new challenge. 

Help the Aged will be there to help you every step of the way. When you join one of our running teams you will be provided with a pack containing the following:

• a training guide with essential tips on how to get in shape and prepare properly;
• an introduction to fundraising – how to hit your sponsorship/fundraising target;
• fundraising tips – ideas, rules, sample letters and health and safety issues;
• information on where your money goes – what the funds you raise will be used for;
• Help the Aged sponsor forms; and 
• details on how to set up your own personal Help the Aged sponsorship web page at Justgiving.

Additionally, as part of our commitment to you, you will also receive regular news updates, a training T-shirt or running vest, plus a goody bag and other incentives.
