You can register as an individual runner or as part of a team.
As part of your registration, we ask each participant to raise at least €100 in sponsorship for brain research. Of course, the more you raise, the greater your impact! Your registration becomes official once you have raised 50% of your fundraising target (€50).
Ask your friends, family, colleagues, and supporters to sponsor your run. Every donation helps advance brain research and brings us one step closer to better treatments. In addition, donations of €40 or more are 45% tax-deductible.
