Bright green foliage contrasts with the warm autumn hues. A sunlight-dappled path winds through a serene park lined with trees in autumn. Leaves in shades of green, yellow, and orange create a colorful canopy. The clear blue sky adds to the tranquil, vibrant scene. The photo captures vivid autumn foliage with red, orange, and yellow leaves on the trees, set against a bright blue sky. Some green pine needles are also visible, contrasting with the warm colors of the leaves. The perspective is looking straight up. A sunlit pathway in a park lined with tall trees. The sun's rays filter through the branches, casting long shadows on the leaf-covered ground. The trees, with sparse leaves, indicate a late autumn day under a clear blue sky.

Provisional schedule

Event Waves refers to the order the individual race waves will set off.

Please allow 15mins to park up and walk over to Registration. We suggest allowing 60mins to collect your number, go to the loo etc and maybe grab a coffee to start your day. The Race briefing takes place at the start line, with a briefing before each wave.

There are likely multiple waves with the same colour race number, please pay close attention to the number range too on the final schedule. Arrival times are suggestions. Number collection will remain open for each wave right up to the start of each wave

provisional schedule

results and prizes

The 8th Feb and 9th Feb races have the same medal. The 7th September race has a different medal. The medals are 10cm x 10cm in size with a full colour design on both sides. Each distance has its own ribbon.

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 by the end of race week.

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 of awards are made (top 3 along with first in each age group). If there are between 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 we would like to keep this participation focused.
