Team Ivan

Join the Team

Anyone over the age of 16 can join Team Ivan. You need to commit to training for and running in one of our chosen extreme running events. We plan to run in two events each year — one in the winter, one in the summer — each supporting a different local healthcare/medical charity.

Allow yourself at least four months training, and extreme running is not as daunting a prospect as it may seem — your team mates will help to pull you through (sometimes literally!) just as you will help them. This team spirit is one of the most valuable things you will gain from Team Ivan.

We ask you to attend as many of the training sessions as you can, but recognise that not everyone can make it every time. The one rule we have is that we all show respect, tolerance and support for our fellow team members. We take special pride in people who find us through the Big Issue and local community centres.

As a member of Team Ivan we hope you will benefit from the huge sense of personal achievement that comes from

• pushing yourself to the limit to complete an extreme running event
• charity fund raising for good causes in the Oxford area
• being part of a team where the contribution of every member counts and we all pull together to get through.

To join Team Ivan please fill out an application form and come along to meet us at training, or send it to us by email or post.

Alternatively, just email your name, age and contact details to info at teamivan.org and we'll contact you with further information about how to join.
