FAQs
REFUNDS
If you are unable to compete you may be able to receive a 50% refund up to 4 weeks before race day however please consider gifting your entry cost to the school; this is a fundraising event, and costs have already been incurred.
Within 4 weeks we will not be able to offer a refund, however you may transfer your entry to someone else up to 7 days before the event.
TRANSFERS
You can transfer your entry to someone else up to 7 days before the event. You may also transfer your entry between the 10k and 5k.
DOGS
Running with dogs is not permitted. All dogs on and around the event area must be kept on a lead at all times due to the number of small children around.
RUNNING WITH BUGGIES
You are welcome to run with a suitable running buggy, however please be aware that this is a trail run and certain parts of the course will be bumpy. If you choose to run with a buggy then you will need to give priority to runners, and you will need to start the race at the back of the field as the early part of the course is quite narrow as it goes into the woods.
TOILETS
There will be facilities available at the school and at the pub.
MARSHALLS
The course will be well marshalled. We rely on volunteers to make this event possible, so if you would like to help out in any way then please email [email protected]
Any inappropriate or aggressive behaviour towards the event staff or event marshals will not be tolerated and will be strictly dealt with.
THE ROUTE
The course will be fully marked with km markers, and will be marshalled, however it is your responsibility to know the route. The event organisers will not accept responsibility for anyone failing to follow the correct route for whatever reason.
The course is accurately measured and marked out however due to discrepancies in GPS devices the organisers can not be held responsible for any small variances in the event distance. This is a fun run - you are not Kenenisa Bekele.
BAG DROP
We will be operating a secure bag drop facility on the race day. The organisers accept no responsibility for loss or damage to any property.
WATER STATIONS
We will have water stations on the course and at the finish, however it is advisable to bring your own water for the start and finish as on hot days we may have to limit the amount we are able to give away.
FIRST AID
We will have a designated medical assistance in the event area. If you require any medical assistance please see a marshal or a member of the race team.
FITNESS
It is your responsibility to determine if you are physically able to compete in the event.
EVENT POSTPONEMENT
In the unlikely event that the event can not go ahead on the date as planned due to reasons out of our control then the event will be re-scheduled and your entry will be transferred to that event. The event is a charity fundraising event for the school, and costs have already been incurred.
Registration & Start times
Race packs are collected on the day
We will be back to mass starts, the children's 1k will still be split in two to give the smaller runners more of a chance!
All timings will be confirmed closer to the event
