Please return your application form by mail no later than Friday 18 Dec 2009. Please note: You will be required to pay a £30* application fee which will be refunded if you are unsuccessful.

If your application is successful and you win Earthwatch's Silver Bond place, or if you use your own ballot place to run for Earthwatch, you will receive the following:

  • Earthwatch's fundraising help pack containing information about Earthwatch, sponsor forms, posters, flyers, event planning advice, media tips, legal advice, and much more
  • A direct phone line to our expert fundraising advice team
  • A coveted Earthwatch t-shirt, to wear on Marathon day!

Before the big day we'll meet up to brief you and accompany you to the race start. On the day, we will be there to provide you with after race refreshments and a celebratory photograph. And, of course, we'll be there to cheer you on every step of the way!

If your application is not successful, don't despair! There are countless other sponsored challenge events occurring throughout the UK and Europe, each with an opportunity to raise vital funds for Earthwatch!
