Dawn Of The Dead 5 Mile

You will be running mainly on gravel tracks within the park, which are well maintained and take in some great woodland trails. There will be tree stumps, roots, ditches and puddles on some of the tracks, so please watch your footing. The course will be well marked with signs and arrows and marshals will be at key points to direct you.

The race brief and start of the races will take place next to the Café, where the race starts and finishes. It could be muddy in places, so trail shoes are recommended – something with some grip to get you round.

Cut-offs
The cut-off is 2 hours for the 5Mile race. We will have sweepers in them to look after the back of the pack and make sure you all finish safely.

Marshals will be positioned on the course to provide help if required, along with some roaming bike marshals. If you need to drop out of the race at any time we will try and get you as quickly as possible. The good. We would also recommend you download a free app called what3words which can help pinpoint your exact location.

We do not have exclusive use of the park, and you might encounter dog walkers. Please remember that this is a Country Park, and they have as much right to use the grounds as we do. Be respectful of others around you and stay aware of faster runners passing by.

Zombie Costumes: Dress up as your favourite zombie or character from the film to enhance the atmosphere!
