APPLICATION FORM IMPORTANT INFORMATION

We are delighted that you are applying to be part of the Hope Alive Tour. Please read the form carefully and provide all the required information. As there are many aspects to the tour, we would ask that you take the time at this stage to make sure everything is completed and submitted before the due date. We will let you know if your application has been successful 2 weeks after all the information is received. Once you have been accepted you will need to pay a non-refundable deposit of £95 within 2 weeks of the acceptance date. Failure to pay the deposit in time will result in your place being offered to the next available runner. The balance is due 4 weeks before the start date. There are a maximum of 9 running places on each tour. If not enough places are filled by the closing date, then applicants will be contacted to arrange a change of tour or a refund of the deposit.

The running element of the tour is a 72-hour long-distance relay run, with team members running in half- hour slots through day and night. This is not a race - running slots are flexible and can be adjusted to suit runner's needs - but it is a challenge, so you will need to be prepared to get out of your routine, eat and sleep on the go, and support each other as a team.

Please submit your application and supporting documents to the following address:

Operation Orphan, 143 Attenborough Lane, Attenborough, , NG9 6AA or email a copy to [email protected]
