The event attracts thousands of entrants every year and the rest of the money raised will go to participating scout groups and projects.

Donations will also be made to East Anglia's Children's Hospices (EACH) and the Lord Mayor's chosen charity - The Benjamin Foundation’s BOOM! Young Carers service.
