When is the fundraising deadline?

The fundraising deadline is on the event day.

What if I don’t meet my minimum fundraising target?

When applying for a charity place for the BMW Berlin Marathon, you had pledged to fundraise £850 for the charity. We understand that sometimes it may be difficult to reach your fundraising target due to unexpected circumstances. If you’re struggling to reach your fundraising target, please let a member of the events team know at myevent@nas.org.uk. We can support you with reaching your fundraising target.

Is the event autism friendly?

The BMW Berlin Marathon involves live music and cheering along the route. This may be overwhelming for some autistic runners, and it’s advised to consider this before applying.

Can I fundraise as a team?

Yes, you can fundraise as a team, but please contact the event manager to let them know that you’re sharing a fundraising page with a teammate.
