The entrance fee is £800 + VAT for one vehicle and two drivers, which is the minimum team.
The entrance fee for further team members in the same vehicle, whether driving or not, is £300 + VAT.

As well as the event administration and organisation, the entrance fee includes event decals for your vehicle, an event driving suit, all accommodation (Saturday, Sunday and Monday), all breakfasts, an evening buffet at the Seaview in John O'Groats, a superb full buffet at the Hydro, and a wholesome roast dinner on completion of the event at the Land's End Hotel.
These costs are the same as the 2006 event, thanks largely to the hotels generously holding their prices.

A minimum deposit of £100 is required to confirm your entry.

As the event draws nearer, further expenditure is obviously involved. This means that there is a sliding scale of refunds should you have to cancel. However, if there are any teams on the reserve list able to take your place, 90% of your entrance fee will be refunded. If, for any reason, you have to cancel your entry, the following refunds apply:

• Before June 30th 2008 : 100% of monies paid (less deposit).
• Before August 31st 2008: 25% of monies paid (less deposit)
• Please note that cancellations after August 31st or 'no-show' at the event itself will mean that the entrance fee is forfeited unless a reserve team is available to take your place. By this time, we have to commit fully to most elements of the event and much of this needs to be paid for whether it is eventually used or not.

If you wish to enter the event but all places are taken, you can go on the reserve list which operates on a first come - first served basis. Should another team have to cancel, we will notify you immediately to see if you wish to take their place. Teams on the reserve list will receive the same updates, advice and information as the confirmed teams, and will also be informed of their position on the reserve list.
Both confirmed and reserve entrants will be posted on the website, and will be updated as the event progresses. Currently, places are available.

Apart from having a memorable weekend, the main object of the Run is to raise much-needed funds for the Benevolent Fund. It is therefore hoped that all teams will do their utmost to raise as much as possible. The target for 2008 £50,000.
Fundraising ideas and support material will be appearing on the site in due course, and should any teamsters have any good ideas, we'd be grateful if you could share them on the site using the message board.

If you have to cancel your entry, any money collected prior to the event will have to be returned to your sponsors. In such cases, sponsors often want the money to go to the charity anyway.
In this event, your sponsors must countersign your copy of the form to confirm this.

3. ROAD TRAFFIC ACTS
All teams must adhere to the rules and laws contained in the Highway Code.
Special attention should be paid to speed restrictions in villages and built-up areas, and to the use of foglights.Timings between checkpoints will enable the Marshalls to identify any teams that are using excessive speeds, and this may result in penalty miles or disqualification from the mileage competition.
