If you would like to apply to be on the start line please read the Harmeny Charity Place Terms and Conditions and fill out your details below by 31 July 2026.
Please note:
Participants must be 18 years or older on 24 April 2027.
If you are offered a charity place you will need to pay a £100 entry fee to secure your entry. The £100 entry fee helps to cover Harmeny’s costs and is therefore non-refundable under any circumstances. See the Terms and Conditions for more details.
Once you have applied for a Harmeny charity place your application will be assessed by the Harmeny team. We aim to inform all participants of the outcome of their application by Thursday 6 August 2026. We are likely to receive more applications than we have available places, so unfortunately not everyone who applies will be given a place.
