Your privacy

We (Bliss and Bliss Scotland) promise we will use the personal data you have provided to communicate in the way(s) you have agreed to.

Please complete the form below in as much detail as possible to apply for your place on Team Bliss. We allocate places based on the strength of application, so please do take your time, and really think about your answer to each question.

We will not pass on your details on to any third party organisation for their marketing purposes.

Please also apply for a ballot place as well as applying to run for Bliss. That way, when results are announced, you may be lucky enough to get a ballot place. In that case, we'll be able to refund your registration fee (or allocate it to your fundraising), you can still run for Team Bliss and your charity place will go to someone on our waiting list
