BUPA Great Edinburgh Run – Sunday 7th October 2012
OCD-UK Application Form
Through participation in fundraising events like the Great Edinburgh Run, OCD-UK are able to continue to provide
advice, support and encouragement to children and adults affected by Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
Each year the Great Edinburgh Run becomes more and popular with race reaching capacity long before race day, but
OCD-UK are lucky enough to have secured 5 guaranteed places for 2012.
Please complete this application form and email it back to OCD-UK at office@ocduk.org to be considered for entry into
the 2012 Great Edinburgh Run. Places are usually allocated quickly long before race day, so please send your application
back to us ASAP.
If you agree to run and fundraise in the region of at least £250 for OCD-UK we will pay your race fee, provide you with a
training guide, fundraising tips and an OCD-UK running vest, and an orange OCD-UK t-shirt for any family/friends so you
can spot them in the crowd.
I very much look forward to running the Great Edinburgh Run with you in 2012.

OCD-UK Running Vest or T-Shirts
In addition to the serious nature of the fundraising from this event, we also believe it is an ideal opportunity to raise
awareness about Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder with other runners, and amongst the thousands of people lining the
streets cheering. So we ask all our runners to wear an OCD-UK running vest (can be worn over a t-shirt).
We can also arrange to have your name printed on the vest if you would like that. You will find the crowd cheer you on
by name if you struggle and need a little support it can make the world of difference.
Please Indicate Your Required Running Vest Size?
Men’s Cut: S (38”) [ ] M (40”) [ ] L (42”) [ ] XL (44”) [ ] XXL (46”) [ ]
Ladies Cut: XS (32”) [ ] S (34”) [ ] M (36”) [ ] L (38”) [ ] XL (40”) [ ]

Please enter your desired name to be printed on the vest, i.e. ‘Ash’ rather than ‘Ashley’, leave blank if you prefer not
to have your name printed on the running shirt. ________________________________________
