Frequently Asked Questions
If I set up an online everydayhero fundraising page, am I automatically entered in the race

How much does entry cost
It depends on which race you choose and when you make your entry purchase. For more entry info click here. https://aucklandmarathon.co.nz
How do I start fundraising as I haven’t done this before
We are here to help you every step of the way until race day with great resources, training tips, nutrition guides and regular emails to help you smash your targets! The first step is to visit “Join team” and set up your fundraising page. Then the simplest way to get started is to share it with your friends and family to let them know you’re fundraising to help Youthline. Then start training for your event and post regular updates to your social media pages for your supporters to see.
What amount should I set for my fundraising page goal?
You can set your own target for your online everydayhero fundraising page. We suggest $500 to challenge yourself and receive your tee and cap and if you really want to make your steps count, you can set your target to $1000 will mean we can refund your entry costs
