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.
colourburst
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.
Valley View 10km
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. The route is predominantly flat.
Half Marathon
Valley View Half Marathon Ticket: A 2 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 4km in the tunnel which comes mid way on each length of the route. The route is predominantly flat.
Tintern Station Half Marathon Ticket: A 1 lap course which takes you through the Valley View route areas and beyond. This is a largely very flat route, with a 50m rocky climb and few sections of steps as the route transitions from one flat area to another. The route is essentially out and back route following the railway line all the way from Sedbury on the outskirts of Chepstow, all the way to Tintern Station where there is a looped section. This route has 2km in the tunnel, lots of running along the riverside trails and has a turnaround point at Tintern Old Station with a feast station stop along the old platform. The route is predominantly very flat being based on old railway trails and river side paths.
