So join around 15 other fantastic OCD-UK fundraisers and soak up the atmosphere, character and spirit of the Great North Run this year.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the difference between a charity place and an own place?<\/a>\n\n<\/div><\/div>

The reason we change a registration fee<\/strong>
\nIt costs the charity almost \u00a31000 each year to secure our charity places, so because of this we have to charge a registration fee to ensure those taking part are confident in their decision to complete the Great North Run and fundraise for our charity.\u00a0 However, we want you to be able to run for OCD-UK without cost, so for all those that do raise the minimum amount of \u00a3399, we will be in touch after the event to arrange to refund your \u00a340 registration fee.\u00a0 \u00a0Should you register, and subsequently have to pull out due to injury or other reason, provided we can reallocate the place in time, we will refund your registration fee (less 10% administrative charge).<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
