  Costs to Overseas
  These are specified to each event.
  The costs cannot be related to British Fundraising Offers 20% VAT is payable by Overseas.
• ALL charities defend their parameters to capture their share of the charitable quid.
  Fundraisers need to respect our boundary rules. The big charities have multi millions to spend on professional (High Wage) fundraisers newspaper adverts to attract you some over £50 million each year (Charity chuggers receive over £130 for each shopper they harass to sign up doubtfully) Good luck to them but it is an obscene path that is attracting tens of millions from other charities to expansion advertising. We don’t advertise, we spend our excess on charities who provide competitors with the safety of hundreds of medics, disaster officials and First Aid marshals and divers, all charitable organisations. Without whom you would not have the event.
• We are well known and respected locally over the past 32 years in applying charity funds directly to the purpose it was given to help. "The Horse Sanctuary" Charity No: 1102444. You can rest assured that this fund will provide jobs for wounded and disabled soldiers returning to this area.

What is the maximum number of entries allowed?
Numbers are limited to 5000 entries. So when is it likely to fill up?
When it is full it is full. Fee Costs rise monthly to budget requirements. Which deter the 40,000 joggers who pay £50/£60 to be a TV waver at other great events i.e. London Marathon etc. When we budget up, we close the entries.

When do entries close?
When it is full it is full.
Tough Guy - 10 days before for cancelisations when full.
Nettle Warrior - 10 days before for cancelisations when full.
Or for either event when entries have sold out.

Is there an age limit for Tough guy™?
Lower limit is 16 acompanied and insured. There is no upper age limit, though being able to run a 12 minute mile for 10 miles is the yardstick. Patrick Barnes came to Tough Guy™ when he was 84 as a walking legend.
