Ten Tors Entry Cost – TT25 entry costs remain at 

• Ten Tors Challenge: £210 per team.
• Ten Tors Jubilee Challenge:  £20 for each participant.
• Ten Tors Jubilee Challenge Plus: £25 for each participant.

Payment - The payment section on TMs Dashboard’s will open in early Jan 25 for a four-week period. Payment is only accepted via the PayPal link which will be in each of the TMs Dashboard once live. A PayPal account is not required just follow the instructions when live. Further detail will be published just before the payment window opens.

Communication - The above information found on the website should provide enough guidance to get you started at this stage with more to follow. All TMs and Establishment Staff should use the website as the primary means of information dissemination and not rely on email communication. Email addresses are pulled from Dashboards after Selection results are published, but not the most reliable means as TMs occasionally change, and email addresses are not always updated.

If you have any further questions, you can email the SWHQ-TenTors-MAILBOX@mod.gov.uk Mailbox, however please except our apologies as there may be a delayed response as the TT Team are currently changing over with minimal staff.  

We look forward to meeting both new Establishment Staff and those steadfast previous Establishments for what will be another fantastic Event TT25.
