Unique finisher's medal and a buffet of tasty treats at the finish line.

• Unique finisher's medal
• Buffet of delicious post race treats
• Really friendly, inclusive atmosphere, perfect for your first race

All our courses are very comprehensively marked and well marshalled so you can relax and enjoy your run. The vast majority of the route is on old railway track, a flat and solid surface. It is not perfectly smooth, but it is a good surface

The race starts at Wyedean School and heads along the rail path towards Tintern. Tidenham tunnel is 3km into the race and is itself over 1km long. There are great views along the wye valley as the two routes head to their turn around points before retracing their steps back to the finish line at the station

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.

We have a 500m and a 2km Colourbust event which is on laps of the Wyedean School football pitch, a great spectator friendly environment which lets us maximise the number of colour stations. There are medals for all our little runners too!

We strongly recommend that you bring goggles or sun glasses to keep the colour powder out of your eyes. We also encourage mums and dads to consider a change of clothes and shoes for the journey home :-)

These events are open for runners of all ages, particularly runners who would be too young to do our 5km race (min age 12). There is no minimum age for these colourburst runs and they are not timed events!

The colourburst is infact 100% food grade corn starch with coloured dye, it is 100% safe, edible but not at all tasty so eating it is not encouraged, and 100% biodegradable.

A 1 lap course. We walk the 6km runners out together approximately 1 mile from the main start area. This gives the runners 1km before the tunnel to settle into their running, 1km out and back through the tunnel, and a final 3km back to the main finish area.

A 1 lap course. This is an out and back route, predominantly on the old railway line so it is lovely and flat and benefits from a lot of tree shading which is great on a warm day. This route has 2km in the tunnel which comes mid way on each length of the route.

A 1 lap course. This is a very flat, essentially out and back route following the railway line all the way from Sedbury on the outskirts of Chepstow, all the way to Tintern.
