Donations cannot be made at this time.

This is primarily a community event. The main objective is to raise funds to support charities and good causes within the Cumbria community. This has ALWAYS been the case. The event is non-profit making, and is organised entirely by unpaid volunteers. The organisers are able to meet the event’s community objectives and cover essential costs by allocating part of the entry processing fees, plus a percentage of every team’s total donations for these purposes. The organisers enable team co-ordinators to nominate charities and good causes to receive the remaining amount (typically 67%) of the donations that their teams have raised.

Think of it this way... hundreds of people take part in making this event happen. Most of the volunteers who organise registration, set the route up, line the route to keep walkers safe, motorcycle marshals, 4x4 drivers, first-aiders, litter collectors, operate the finish, etc, are doing so on behalf of local charitable organisations and good causes. Additionally, many small local charities are not in a position to contribute much to support the event, and find it difficult to attract major funding themselves, but as a community-focused organisation we want to support their good works. The walk committee awards money to all of these organisations on your behalf. That's primarily what the percentage of donations is used for. Our community objectives and the awards that we make locally are very important to us. The walk committee members receive nothing personally, and give their time freely to benefit the community. Therefore, please don't give money direct to your own chosen charities via another method. It's terribly unfair on all the organisations that are working behind the scenes, and seriously undermines the event. If you have any further questions about this, please Contact us.

Money donated online via the Keswick to Barrow website is non-refundable. See Payment Terms for details.
