The Course Approximately 8 miles. A scenic mixture of footpaths, tracks, cross-country and (a tiny bit) of road. There maybe the odd hill but that means the views are even better. Spikes are NOT recommended but shoes should have a good grip. No dogs please as it is likely that there will be livestock en route.
Family Fun Run 10.00a.m. Approximately 1.5km cross-country route within the school grounds, £1.50 entry on the day, all ages and abilities welcome. Memento to all finishers. No dogs allowed.
Car Parking At St Francis School and other car parks - you will be directed to the available parking by our marshals – please obey their instructions. As parking is limited, please consider car sharing if possible. Note that some parking may be 5 – 10 minutes walk away from the start.
Toilets, Changing & Showers All at the school. Please remove muddy shoes before entering.
Personal Listening Devices Personal listening devices such as iPods MUST NOT be worn during the event. We have had serious near-misses as a result of participants not hearing marshall's instructions. It is your safety that is our primary concern and failure to comply will result in exclusion from the results.
