FAQs
How do I attach my race number?
Please attach your race number to the front of your running top or vest using safety pins or clips, securing it on all four corners. Please don’t attach your number to the back of your shirt as it is difficult for our timekeepers and marshals to identify you.

Did the race in 2020
Incredible value for money. Really well set up, easy to navigate with excellent marshals and signage on course.Very friendly atmosphere with honest, clear instructions from event organisers.Tough course for a half marathon with plenty of climbing along beautiful trails. Although a tough course and I'd also say it's great for beginners as you won't get lost and it's not an overwhelming number of participants. That said, there is every pace and ability out racing - all having a great time with a smile on their face and a hand shake to their competitors at the end - if you want a competitive race,you'll get that too with some real speed goats!For the cost, I didn't expect anything except a "get set go" but they overed water stations and snacks on course and at the end, everyone got a medal and there were even really nice trophies for those who podiumed / won age categories.Will definitely be back!
