Sporting Events
There are two ways that you can join Team CAIRN.
1) Secure a guaranteed entry place. The CAIRN Trust has secured a number of places for future races. We do ask that our guaranteed runners raise a minimum sponsorship (dependent on race) and pay a non refundable registration fee of £50 which will cover the cost of the place. If you are successful in securing a place we will contact you with further information. Please email rpurdie@cairntrust.org or call on +44 (0)1425 481506 for further support.
2) You could also try and secure your own running place by applying directly to any of the races mentioned below. If you do this, please then send us your own place runners application form. If you are fundraising for The CAIRN Trust please let us know the details so we can tell everyone about it! Don't forget that you can create your own fundraising page at Virgin Money Giving or Just Giving
