2. Teams / Groups - all you need to know!

   Please note: each person entering The MoonWalk Scotland requires a unique email address. This applies regardless of whether you are entering as an individual or entering as part of a team.

   How do we enter a team

   At the start of your registration, you need to enter a team name and you will automatically become the Team Leader.

   Ways to enter your Team Members!

   1. After entering the team name, you can then enter the email addresses of your team and they will receive an email inviting them to join. They will need to pay for their own places and complete their registration.
   2. Let your team members know the team name, they can then head to our website and select the ‘Join Team’ option on the registration form
   3. Once the Team Leader has registered before you pay you can choose to register another person. You can then enter the rest of your team members and pay for them, but you will need each person’s details.

   Can some of us enter to walk the Half Moon and some the Full Moon?

   Proving you have the same team name you can start together. Our aim is that the Half Moon and the Full Moon walks as far as possible together. The route is currently being created, so watch this space!

   Can I enter for someone else? 

   Yes – you may make an online entry for each member of the team, provided that you have their permission to provide the required information (including their unique email address) and accept the terms and conditions on their behalf. By completing the form you agree that all the information that you have given is correct. 

   Did a friend enter for you?

   Great news! You can view and edit your fundraising page through your confirmation email.

   How many people can be in a team?

   As many as you like... from two and up! If you're applying online, there is no limit to the number of people you can apply for in one transaction - but don't forget any limits on your debit/credit card.

   How do I/we join an existing Team?

   Choose  ‘join a team & register’ if you are joining a team that is already registered. Once clicked, you can search for the team name or team captain name. Make sure that you put the same Estimated Time that your teammates have already used.

7. What are the estimated finishing times

   We appreciate when you enter you may not have any walking experience or fitness, and it can be difficult to estimate a finishing time. By setting a realistic goal at the time of registration it helps us to keep the event running smoothly.

   Full Moon Marathon (26.2 miles) 

   • 5 - 6 hours - 12 - 13 minute miles
   • 6 - 7 hours - 14 - 15 minute miles
   • 7 - 8 hours - 17 - 18 minute miles
   • 8 - 10 hours - 20 minute miles

   Half Moon (13.1 miles)   

   • 3 - 4 hours - 12 - 15 minute miles
   • 4 - 5 hours - 16 - 18 minute miles
   • 5 - 6 hours - 20 - 23 minute miles
   • 6 hours - 24 minute miles

   Please note:

   If some of your team are taking on the Full Moon and some the Half Moon, we will do our best to keep you together. Please select the equivalent times, shown in the table here and join through the team link or by joining an existing team.

   E.g. 6-7 hours for Full equates to 4-5 hours for Half, similarly 6 hours on Half equates to 8-10 hours on Full.

   

8. Entering 13-17 year olds

   Some points to be aware of 

   • All Walkers must be at least 13 years old on the day of the challenge. 
   • An adult guardian must accompany any entrant aged between 13 and 17 years old for the duration of the challenge.
   • The guardian of the adolescent must enter into the challenge prior to the adolescent entering and for the same distance and estimated time. Please give yourselves a Team Name.
   • If you are entering the challenge online and are also entering an adolescent you can do them together and make one payment or separately, but please ensure you have the same team name and finishing time.  
   • For schools or groups there must be a minimum ratio of 1 adult to 5 younger walkers.
   • You can use your own credit card if you are entering a 13-17 year old. i.e. it does not have to be in their name.

9. Invite friends and family to join your Team

   Already have a Team but want more to join in the fun?... Send your friends and family an invite by following these easy steps...

   • From your individual online fundraising page, click team name (to the right of your profile picture)
   • Copy your team page URL (page link) and send it to your friends and family
   • They will be able to follow the link and click on the purple join team option which will take them to register for the challenge. Once they complete the registration they will be linked to your team page.

   It's as easy as that...

10. Can I MoonWalk when pregnant?

    As long as you have checked with your midwife/doctor that they are happy that you join us, then yes you can. Listen to your body and seek medical advice if needed.

11. I took part in a previous MoonWalk but did not raise any money - can I still enter?

    Well... it's never too late to send it in!

    If you have previously taken part in The MoonWalk Scotland but have not yet sent in all, or any of your fundraising, we would encourage you to send in your sponsorship as soon as possible. All our fundraising is important, and more so than ever before, so we will be getting in touch with anyone where our records show we have not received any fundraising.

    However, in the meantime, you can enter the MoonWalk Scotland 2023 and we will be in touch.

12. Ok - I've entered online. Now what?

    Once you have entered you will receive an email confirming your place.
