Who are we?

We are the GB&NI 24 hour team. A team of dedicated ultramarathon runners and supporters aiming for success at the World Champs

Why are we crowdfunding?

The team is part-funded by UK Athletics and we need to raise the balance of the budget through self-funding, sponsorship, personal donations and crowd-funding. If you would like to support the team to achieve their potential, please make a donation.

How we’ll spend the money raised

Contributions will go towards flights and accommodation for athletes and the support team for the 2023 Championships. Anything additional will be rolled over to be used for a future championship.
