Charity Event Queries
Please contact your chosen charity directly.
Please contact your Charity as soon as possible to discuss this with them directly as they will need to withdraw your entry on your behalf. Please note that you cannot defer your entry to the following year; you would simply need to begin the entry process from scratch when entries for the next year open. Your charity will incur a fee for the withdrawal of your Charity Entry so please do think carefully before entering the event.
This would be treated as two entirely separate entries. For example, If you have an approved Charity Entry in the Edinburgh event and wish to change to the Glasgow event, you would need to ask your charity to withdraw your entry in the Edinburgh event and you would then need to enter the Glasgow event from scratch, providing entries are still open.
This would be treated as two entirely separate entries. The withdrawal of your Charity Entry and the other runner’s entry are not at all related. You would need to ask your charity to withdraw your entry and the other runner would need to begin the entry process from scratch, providing entries are still open. If entries are closed, it will not be possible for the second runner to participate. Your charity will incur a fee for the withdrawal of your Charity Entry, so please do think carefully before entering.
Your charity will incur a fee for the withdrawal of your original entry, and is not obliged to guarantee your new entry, so please do think carefully before initially choosing your race distance and discuss any proposed changes with your charity as soon as possible.
Please contact JustGiving directly.
If you have applied for a Charity place and your Charity has approved you, this Charity has now paid for your place. If you wish to withdraw your entry so you can apply for a different Charity, you will need to advise the Charity directly to discuss and they will need to withdraw you from the race for you to apply with another Charity. Your charity will incur a fee for the withdrawal of your Charity Entry so please do think carefully before doing so.
Please contact your chosen charity directly to ask them to send these out to you.
Your Event Information Pack will be available from within your My Details account 10 days prior to the event. We will let you know by email when your Event Information Pack is available within your My Details account.
Your Event Information Pack is a document that we, as the event organiser, produce to tell you everything you need to know about the event and is tailored to the specific race distance you are participating in. You do not need to contact your charity with questions about the event, e.g. start time, transport options or to find out when you will receive your race number.
The easiest and quickest way to get the money you raise to your charity is by setting up an online giving page at www.justgiving.com. Alternatively, ask your chosen charity to provide you with sponsorship forms and once you have collected all monies, you can send your charity a cheque for the total amount. Please do speak to your charity regarding the most suitable method of collecting and submitting sponsorship money and they will be able to help you. Your sponsorship money must always be sent directly to your chosen charity and not to the event organisers.
We only have space at some of our Events for our Affiliate Charities in our Charity Village. Unfortunately if you are not an Affiliate Charity, you are not able to take this space.
If you have pledged to fundraise for another charity in error you can amend your choice by logging into your My Details account and clicking the "Unlink entry from Charity" link next to your entry. Refresh the page and then you will see a new link appear "Click here to pledge to fundraise for an Affiliate Charity". You can then select your intended chosen charity from the drop down list.
While you reserve the right to withdraw your fundraising pledge going forward, please be advised that the charity you selected in error may have already incurred expense in providing you with a fundraising pack/charity running top etc. We would therefore ask that you carefully consider the implications of withdrawing your fundraising pledge before doing so. If you wish to discuss this with the charity you have selected in error before taking action, please contact them directly via their Affiliate Charity page on this website.
This is something that may be offered in the future so keep an eye on your GCC Account, however for now there is no area set up for Charity Stands. The Event Delivery model is limited leaving no room for Charities at present.
Charity Entry Queries
Charity Entry - An entry in the event that is paid for by an Affiliate Charity or the Official Charity. If you secure a charity entry, your charity will expect you to agree to raise a minimum amount in sponsorship money, and may ask you to pay a registration fee towards the cost of your entry.
Own Entry - Any type of entry (e.g. standard/late/club) which you pay for yourself. Runners who have purchased their Own Entry are welcome, but not obliged, to fundraise for any charity of their choice If you do wish to fundraise for an Affiliate Charity or the Official Charity, you can let them know via the ‘tell a charity I have my own entry’ link in your MyDetails account. If the charity is not an Affiliate Charity, you are welcome to run for them, however you would need to contact them directly yourself.
Group Own Entry – Each group member who wishes to link their entry to an Affiliate Charity must do so separately after completing their own entry. The group leader can only assign a charity to their entry via their ‘My Details’ account and is not able to do so on behalf of a group. This enables members of one group to fundraise for a variety of different causes.
When you advise a charity that you wish to fundraise for them, they will spend time, effort and money on building a relationship with you. Therefore, please do not do so unless you are very committed to fundraising.
If the charity is not listed on our website you are welcome to run for them, however you would need to purchase a Standard Entry into the race and contact the Charity directly to let them know you are raising funds for them.
a. Instant Charity Entry (ICE)
Secure an ICE with Cancer Research UK. When you sign up for ICE, you agree to various terms and conditions (including minimum sponsorship) and your Charity Entry in your chosen race is then instantly ’approved’.
b. Apply for a Charity Entry
Apply for a Charity Entry with one of our Affiliate Charities and the charity then has 21 days, or until Charity Entries close (whichever comes first), to either approve or decline your application before it expires. You will be informed via email of the outcome of your application. If you change your mind while awaiting approval, please log into your MyDetails account and select the option to cancel your application.
NO! You must enter online through the event website yourself. This is because you must agree to the event terms and conditions and disclaimer, which only you can do. You are solely responsible for ensuring that you have an approved entry in your chosen race.
YES! Your chosen Affiliate Charity has paid for your Charity Entry and will require a minimum amount in sponsorship money to ensure that their involvement in the event results in funds being raised for the charity. Please think very carefully before securing a Charity Entry as any change of heart on your part, whether that be regarding your choice of charity, your ability to raise the minimum sponsorship required, or taking part in the event at all, can have a very negative impact on the charity.
This will depend on the charity you choose. If you sign up for an Instant Charity Entry with our Official Charity or one of our Premier Affiliate Charities, you will be asked to agree to raise a minimum amount in sponsorship money as part of the sign up process. If you are thinking of applying for a Charity Entry with one of our other Affiliate Charities, and wish to know what is expected of you before submitting your application, please contact the charity directly to discuss this with them. Contact details are provided on your chosen Affiliate Charity’s page here.
Please direct a representative from your chosen charity to our “Become an Affiliate Charity” page. Please note that there are costs associated with becoming an Affiliate Charity, and your chosen charity may not wish to proceed. In this case, you will need to wait until entries open for next year’s event when you will be able to purchase your Own Entry.
"Please see the end of the Entry Information page for details of Charity Entry closing dates/times. If applying for a Charity Entry, your charity must approve your application prior to the closing date/time to ensure you are able to participate. If completing an ICE with the Official Charity or one of the Premier Affiliate Charities, you will need to have reached the end of the process prior to the Charity Entry closing date/time.
This depends on whether you are running on your own standard place OR a charity place, there are two options. Option One – Purchase Your Own Place: You would set up your Just Giving page and choose to raise funds for two charities as you wish. Option Two – Charity Place: If you choose a charity place you can only enter and raise funds for one charity, the charity purchases and pays for your place and it is not possible for this to be split between two charities.
Please refer to the relevant Event Website, search for your chosen Charity within the 'Charities' drop down menu and email the Charity directly.
If you require your log in details please visit www.gsicharitycentral.com, your user log in is your email address and if you have forgotten your password then click on the link offered to reset it.
Yes, you can enter as a Standard Group Entry and fundraise directly with the Charities of your Choice, even if those Charities are different within your group.
You need to Contact the Charity you have your Charity Entry with, they need to withdraw you, once you are withdrawn you no longer have an approved entry. The only way you can get another Charity Entry is to reapply for a Charity Entry to the new Charity of your choice.

If you applied for a charity entry and you have received notification that your application has been declined, there are 2 main reasons this may have happened.
1. The charity you wish to run for must review and approve your application within a set timeframe or your application will expire. Please contact your chosen charity directly to discuss this with them if you think this may have happened.
2. Your chosen charity may have chosen to decline your application on this occasion. This may be for a number of reasons and factors. Contact your chosen charity directly to discuss this with them or consider applying for a charity entry with another charity.
You need to inform your Charity directly and get them to withdraw your entry. As long as standard/late entries remain open, you can then purchase an entry directly and still raise funds for the Charity directly. You can still link your entry to your chosen Charity during the entry process.
You can do this either way but if you do it via our Website, your page will then be linked to both our Event and your 'My Details' Account.
No - you need to make sure you enter the Event via our Website and you will only be entered if you receive a 'confirmation' email to tell you, you are an 'approved' entry. If in doubt, please contact your Charity directly to get clarification.
Not every Charity offers this, contact your Charity directly using the Charity information page from within the Event Website, found under the 'Run For Charity' section.
If the Charity you are raising funds for is not an Affiliate Charity of the Event, that is all absolutely fine. However, you will not be able to link your chosen Charity to your 'My Details' Account and you will need to set up your Just Giving page from within the JG Site directly.
Your chosen charity should contact you directly in due course to organise this but if you are concerned please contact your charity to discuss. You can find contact details for your charity via their "Affiliate Charity" page on this website.
If you enter via a Charity Entry this means the Charity have approved you to run for them, meaning you do not have to pay for your entry but you need to raise a minimum amount of sponsorship for the Charity. Therefore you do NOT also have to pay for your own entry. You will need to have received a Charity approved confirmation of entry email from us to ensure you have a Charity Entry.
As you can appreciate we work with over 366 Affiliate Charity so cannot be seen to be donating towards any Charity specifically with regards to contributing to Entry Fees.
