How Far Will You Go?
A 52 hour charity race to the furthest places and back to Cardiff again.

Discounted ticket price £11.25 per person and each team member needs to purchase a ticket or you can buy them all together if you select 2 to 4 tickets - minimum of 2 people per team and maximum of 4.
In addition, each team member needs to raise minimum of £50 each for Cardiff Volunteering to take part. So, for example, if you are a team of 3 you need to raise minimum £150. You can buy your ticket before you start fundraising and you can carry on fundraising throughout/after the event! Half of everything you raise can also go to your charity, SU society, SU association, etc, of your choice. 50% of money you raise must go to Cardiff Volunteering, the other 50% can go towards any local charities you support or your chosen Cardiff University Society or AU club.
Important: Every team member must attend a Safety Briefing in order to take part in Jailbreak, The date of this compulsory safety breifing is at 6pm on the 14th March and you shall receive an email with more information once you have bought a Jailbreak ticket.
We have some amazing prizes that teams can win from taking part in during the 52 hours.
To fundraise teams will need to set up a fundraising page that is connected to the main Jailbreak fundraising page. You can do that though the main Jailbreak fundraising page and details on how to set up the connecting team fundraising page (including how to set up the 50/50 split can be found here. If you are raising for a society or AU club Cardiff Volunteering will transfer the 50% once all fundraising has finished.
