ENTRY FEES
Believe it or not, to run an event such as the Three Towers Hike costs money which can only be recovered from hikers' entry fees. St. John Ambulance costs us over £2000 each year; Food and Drink for everyone (checkpoints, HQ, hikers & staff) comes to over £1000; Prizes (including badges, certificates) similarly over £1000. On top of this, we have to cover building rentals, vehicle rentals and keep a contingency aside for any emergencies.
The fees have been more or less static for the last five years, yet costs have risen. We've also been ambitious with new branding such as last year's thermal mug prize. We do believe that the fees still represent good value for a worthy day out!
Entry fees for 2012
We've simplified the struture of the team fees; they're all divisible by 3 in case each team member needs to make a contribution.
Scout
The team entry fee is £33 per team of 3 which works out at £11 per hiker. A team of 4 Scouts is therefore £44.
ScoutPlus
The team entry fee is £39 per team which works out at £13 per hiker.
Explorer/Classic
The team entry fee for three adults is £69 per team which works out at £23 per adult hiker.
The team entry fee for three Explorer-aged participants is £51 per team which works out at £17 per youth hiker.
Jubilee
The team entry fee for any three hikers is £51 per team which works out at £17 per hiker.
Payments
Payments can be made by cheque or more conveniently with PayPal. You can make either payment from the 'View Balance and Pay Fees' option once you've logged in.
Discounts
If you can provide a significant contribution towards the event and have this agreed in advance (e.g. a minibus and driver) then consideration will be given to waive fees for one or more of your teams in lieu of any payment of expenses. Please get in touch to see if you could benefit.
