FAQ

Why are t-shirts now an add-on to my entry?

From 18th May 2026 the event uses a print-on-demand approach to reduce perfectly good kit going to landfill. T-shirt choice and add-on happens during registration.

What prizes are awarded in each event?

Prizes are awarded only for the main Race start (9:00 am Marathon; 11:00 am Half Marathon). Specific prize details are available on the event page under Further Information.

What is the minimum age to enter?

You must be at least 18 years old to enter the Marathon, Half Marathon, and 10k Challenge. The Mini 10k is open to participants under 12 with a fun-run focus.

Can I switch from one contest at an event to another?

Yes — you can switch between the Challenge and the Race start at the same event provided you do so at least 45 minutes before the earliest start time for that event.

How do I update my details or transfer/cancel my entry?

You can edit your entry online up to 6 days before the event. After that window or for race-day changes, contact the organiser via the event page or in person at registration (deadlines apply).

What do I get for my entry fee?

Entry includes access to your chosen distance, a race number (to be collected in person), timing, and course marshals. Post-race amenities include fruit, water, and results publication. T-shirts are an optional add-on from 18th May 2026.

Do you keep waiting lists for full events?

No waiting lists are kept. If extra places are released, they are first offered to marshals and volunteers, then announced via Facebook and the website.

What sort of shoes should I wear?

Wear suitable trail running shoes with a good grip. Inov-8 Roclite or Trailfly models are ideal; consider Mudtalon if very wet. For new trail runners, a general purpose trail shoe is recommended.

How can I drive on wet fields?

Drive very gently with wheels facing straight, slow and steady. Use second gear in diesels and minimal throttle in petrols. Avoid spinning wheels and only short-wheelbase small vans (e.g., VW Transporter) are permitted on event car parks.
