Chepstow Steeplechase - 10km, 5km & 3km Mini Run

We have a great mix of climbs, crawls, mud and water. The 3km runners will have approx 20 obstacles, the 5km approx 15 obstacles and 10km approx 30+ obstacles.

If in doubt, miss it out, we want everyone to have fun and if you don't fancy a particular obstacle, we are very happy you skip it.

Between the obstacles, the route is largely grass, with a few little rises and falls along the route, but it is not particularly hilly.

Accompanying Adults: Accompanying adults can accompany free of charge, and as such do not register as a participant; they will not be on the start lists, collect a race number, finish time or medal. Max ratio of 1 adult to 2 children who must remain together at all times. Accompanying adults are of course welcome to register as formal participants. We suggest adults test the water for depth before children enter the water, there will be dry alternative routes. Children must cross the line with accompanied adult when this is their category or no result will be recorded.

All finishers will take home a top quality custom medal. Adult medals will be a VERY large 10cm x 10cm medal, Mini Steeplechase medals may be a mix of different designs.

• Bespoke Custom Medal
• Buffet of delicious post race treats
• Really friendly, inclusive atmosphere, perfect for your first OCR

All our finishers receive a top of the range custom medal as well as a buffet of fresh fruit and other tasty treats. We also recognise a few of the speedy runners on the following basis.

The final number of prizes awarded is determined by the number of finishers for each gender in a given race distance. If there are more than 100 finishers then the full range range of awards are made as shown above. If there are less than 50-100 finishers then the top 3 finishers overall will be awarded a prize. If there are less than 50 then only the winner will be awarded a prize. We do not have any winner's prizes for any of the children's events as would like to keep this participation focused.

There is no on the day prize giving because of the multi wave, multi start time format of the events. Prize winners will be contacted mid week via email.

Runners will start in waves of ~100 based on the wave you select when you register. Please tell your friends which wave you are registering for so you can start together.

There is no charge for the accompanying adult, unless they wish to claim a finishers medal at which point we ask they register as well. Maximum ratio of 2 children to 1 adult. Muddy and water sections are deep in places. We suggest adults test the water for depth before children enter the water, there will be dry alternative routes. Children must cross the line with accompanied adult when this is their category or no result will be recorded.

Distances are approximate and we reserve the right to add on a few metres to find some extra good muddy bits :-)

• The accompanying adult does not need to fill out any additional forms in advance nor on the day. As the adult is merely accompanying the child, they will not collect a race number on the day, nor will they collect a finishers medal or time.

Facilities: There are on site toilets, coffee vans and caterers. There is a bag drop. There are no changing rooms.

Photos: Professional photos will be available to purchase within 48hrs of the event from our photographer's website here.

Buggy or Canicross runners: The routes are not suitable for buggy runners or canicross runners.

Spectators: Spectators, including dogs, are very welcome. The best place to spectate is near the finish area where there are some good water features.
