Fundraising

As well as being an incredible running event, HARP24 is an important fundraising event for HARP, Southend's homeless charity

As you take on the ultimate 24-hour running challenge, you'll be helping to support people as they take on the challenge of overcoming homelessness. 

Every penny raised at HARP24 funds the life-changing work of HARP, who support around 1,000 local people experiencing or at risk of homelessness every year. 

In addition to the entry fee, we need all runners to SMASH their fundraising target of £100 per person.

 

For team targets, simply multiply this amount by the number of people in your team. For example, if you are a team of three, your team fundraising target will be £300, £700 for a team of seven, and so on.
