Both of the morning and afternoon races will be set off in waves, ensuring social distancing and keeping each entrant as safe as possible.

The races will have an hour and a half gap between the end of the morning race and the beginning of the afternoon race to help reduce the risk to participants.

Waves will be set off in 3 minute intervals, at a maximum of 12 people per wave.

Wave start times will be determined by your estimated finish time to help avoid overtaking during the races.

NB: As a requirement of a covid-secure event, please ensure you arrive ready to run.

Race Packs

If you have entered the race in good time, to minimise interactions on the day, race packs will be sent to participants in the post.

If you have entered the race close to the race date, you will need to collect your race number on the morning of the event.

If you proceed to the registration table, a race official will write down your name and advise you of your race number – and you will be asked to sanitise your hands and, if you wish, put on gloves, before collecting your number from a storage box on the desk.

Please remember to social distance from the race official and anybody else who is collecting a number.

A race official will manage any queues to ensure everybody remains socially distanced.

• Trail running shoes are thoroughly recommended. Given the time of year, there is a high chance of mud around the course, so do check the weather on the day and bring a rain-jacket if required.
• Masks must be worn in and around the event venue, but can be removed when running.
• Please bring your own water bottle and enough water to last you your race.
• Race numbers must be worn on the front of your shirt and not on your legs or back.
• Please make sure you complete the medical information on the reverse of your number, it is particularly imperative now more than ever that we know who is taking part in the event.
• Any runners in the Canicross races must have a harness for their dog.

Unfortunately, given the current covid-19 situation, spectators will not be allowed to attend. If the situation changes, then the event page will be updated accordingly.
