Have your own place?

If you have secured your own place we'd love you to join #TeamDKMS as an own place runner. This means that you'll receive the same support as our charity runners but there’s no minimum fundraising target - you can have fun and raise as much as you can! Join the team by emailing fundraising@dkms.org.uk.
