Before you lace up
Entry arrangements depend on the race. Creating a fundraising page does not by itself guarantee an entry. Use the race’s Team Lyrical link and confirm registration before making plans.
Lyrical-specific fundraising requirements are being confirmed for each race. We’ll share them before you commit; another charity’s minimum may not apply to Team Lyrical.
