Registration is now open for Maggie’s London Night Hike 2012.

Now in its eighth year the 10 or 20-mile night time walk through London is now well established in the capital’s fundraising calendar.

Last year’s walkers raised more than £500,000 – enough to run a Maggie’s centre for a whole year and organisers are keen to beat this target this year.

The event which takes place on Friday, September 21 2012 and coincides with a festival run by Open House London, this nocturnal challenge gives you the chance to visit a number of landmark buildings and iconic structures.

Buildings confirmed include the Sterling Prize-winning Maggie’s West London centre, the London Eye, Roca, City Hall, Leadenhall Market and Royal Institute of British Architects, Royal Geographical Society and 20 Gresham Street among others.

Head of events Jo Dyson said: “The Maggie’s London Night Hike is an amazing experience. When would you normally get access to these incredible buildings whilst exploring London at night? I would really encourage anyone who is interested in taking part to sign up and help those whose lives have been affected by cancer.”

Maggie’s Centres provides free practical, emotional and psychological support to anyone affected by and type of cancer including friends and carers.

Beginning at 7.30pm, the Night Hike is a fun challenge with a great atmosphere, and an ideal opportunity to fundraise with family and friends and participants can expect food and entertainment at each of the featured buildings.

Registration costs £35 per person for those taking part in the 10 mile event, and £40 per person for 20 mile Night Hikers. Teams of four or more can make a saving of £5 per person.

The minimum fundraising target is just £185 for 10 mile hikers, and £285 for the 20 mile hikers. In return we’ll provide you with a fundraising support pack, regular newsletters with lots of ideas to help you reach or even smash your fundraising target.
