Charity and logistics

Creating Memories supports people with life-limiting illnesses and creates memory-making opportunities in Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire. The Road Victims Trust provides specialist practical and emotional support to people affected by serious road collisions and has operated for about 30 years. Organisers state that no one involved in running the event will take any money from entries. On-the-day entry for the 5 Mile is listed at £25. Included for participants are a bespoke medal, trophies and prizes for leading runners, and free parking. Affiliated runners have the option of a £2 refund or of gifting that amount to charity.
