Question 5

Why has the venue changed?

Accepted Answer

•	For various reasons this year we were no longer able to hold the event at The University of Huddersfield

Question 6

Why has the time changed?

Accepted Answer

•	A car parking map will be included in the pre-event information

Question 9

What is a hare and tortoise?

Accepted Answer

A hare is someone who expects to walk at a fairly quick pace and a tortoise is someone who wishes to take the walk at a steady pace. The Hares will set off first and the Tortoises will set off in the second wave

Question 14

Is there a minimum amount I need to raise?
