For a team of four, we ask for £799 sponsorship (plus registration fee).Not reaching your sponsorship pledge impacts on what Shelter can achieve, so please ensure you are confident in reaching this pledge before signing up for Urban Rush. The deadline for sending in your sponsorship money is six weeks after the event.

Kit List
Running gear that suits an urban environment is essential - trainers that can deal with pavements and uneven surfaces as well as breathable clothing that is both comfortable and high-visibility for running through streets are a must for this event.
We strongly discourage the use of headphones while taking part in the event. As this is not a closed road event there will be other road users along the route and runners need to be mindful of this and remain alert at all times. We cannot be responsible for accidents which occur where the runner is wearing headphones.
FAQs
What support can I expect from Shelter?
Once you register, we'll be in touch regularly with training advice, fundraising support and information about how your fundraising helps us support families facing homelessness. And on the day itself, you'll get a race t-shirt, finisher’s medal, a post-race reception with free sports massage, and plenty of encouragement from Shelter volunteers cheering you on along the way!
How long does it take,
and do I have to run?
Yes, it’s a run – but the event is open to people of all abilities. How long it takes depends on your level of fitness and approach. We expect a range of times, between 1 hour 45mins and 3 hours 30mins.
What happens if I need to pull out before the event?
If you have a health issue or an injury that prevents you from running, or could make it dangerous for you to take part, we'd ask you not to sign up for Urban Rush. If you develop an injury or health issue after signing up, please contact us immediately on 0344 515 1190 or urbanrush@shelter.org.uk.
