Thanks for feedback everyone - if I've understood all the replies, then sounds like it used to be more of a traditional race with some fund raising, but is now very much a fund raising event first and foremost.
The entry fee is £22. I've no idea how much of this is to cover costs and how much would go to the Hospice. The do have prizes, but they are sponsored, and they're appealing for volunteers, but there will be other fixed costs to come out of entry fees - portaloos, t-shirts, timing, etc, etc.
I think I'd feel guilty not raising any extra, so even though they'll probably miss out on £5-£10 of my entry fee, maybe better if I don't enter.

Did Faskally today. Quite enjoyed it. Just a hellish road trip from Aberdeen on winding roads which made me realise I’m not good with them 🤢🤢

We did Thurso - loved it  lovely route and super friendly, the marshals were epic
though LG if you suffered on those roads you would not have coped with our weekend up to Thurso and on to Tongue!

Oh no sorry to have missed you! I didn’t even think to take fetch colours I must say. I saw a couple of dogs- is yours a black spaniel?

Ours is the liver and white spaniel thing that gets over-excited at the start. I hung right back out of the briefing with him today to stop him being a toerag during the minutes silence! The Duckinator will have lapped us, looking at times. We took the first two miles at a run-walk, the Slow decided to stop (calf troubles) and I did a fast last lap but didn't catch up to your time.
Glad you enjoyed it. It's a lovely parkrun (though I havent done any others really so I cant compare!). We do have some fab marshals.
