Frequently Asked Questions

Please do read the challenge FAQ's below, and if you have any further questions do email our team on run@sands.org.uk

How do I pay in my fundraising?

add remove
All donations and sponsorship on your fundraising page will be automatically transferred to Sands, so you don't have to do anything. Please do pay in all your donations by the 10th October. 

If you’ve collected offline donations, the easiest way to pay this to Sands is by donating on your fundraising page or on our website. 

If you’ve collected cash donations and have a completed sponsorship form, do scan
and email this to us at run@sands.org.uk so we claim any gift aid. If you’re not able to
scan or send us a clear photograph, drop us an email anyway and we can let you
know where to send your form via the post.

You can donate your cash donations via your fundraising page or via our website
here: www.sands.org.uk/donate. Make sure to say that your money is for your Run 50k
in September challenge so that we can make sure it is added to your total.

Do I have to prove I’ve completed the challenge?

add remove
You don’t need to prove you’ve completed the distance – we trust you! You can post
videos, pictures and updates on your fundraising page though. Sharing updates is
also a great way to show those who have sponsored you that you’re committed to
completing the challenge.

Will I get a medal?

add remove
Everyone who raises £175 or more will recieve a limited edition medal and certificate at the end of October.  If you're fundraising as a team, we are also asking for £175 or more each per person.

Everyone will recieve a digital certificate via email by the end of October. All donations and sponsorship will need to be recieved by the 10th October. 

You don't need to do anything to get this. If we need any extra details from you, we'll be in touch.

If you move house, please let us know by emailing run@sands.org.uk.

How do I keep track of how many kilometres I've done?

add remove

Your profile page includes your personal distance tally so you can track your distance towards your target. This is a great way to keep your friends updated on your workouts!

You can keep track of your kilometres using any tracker app on your phone, and we do recommend using Strava, Fitbit or Garmin. Don't miss out on joining the Strava club here.

Follow these steps to log your kilometres on your page and keep friends and family updated.

1. Log in to your Sands account by clicking the person icon in the top right of the screen here 
2. Click the person icon in the top right again
3. Click My Fundraising
4. Click My Fitness Activity
5. Scroll down to Add Activity and type in how many miles you've done and any other details
6. Click Save Changes

The Health app on iPhone or Google Fit app on Android both keep track of how many kilometres you do each day. There’s other apps available so do pick whichever works best for you.

If you have a pedometer or sports watch, these can usually keep track of your kilometres too.

Once you're done for the day, mark off your kilometres on your paper tracker, included in your pack, or on your fundraising page.
