DISTANCE 5km or 10km

The event will be split into a 5 kilometre and a 10 kilometre race through wild, off the beaten track country.

Start times will be staggered - the 10K kicking off at 11am, with the 5K runners at 11:30am. The whole event will be clearly marked out and have a maximum of 500 runners.

The 10K will be a punishing, action-packed course suitable for endurance race veterans or competitors who are suitably fit. Hills, woods, streams, hedges, hummocks and hay bales will all be thrown into the mix.

The 5k will have similar terrain as the 10K but be achievable to a wider cross-section of entrants – make no mistake, though, it is still no picnic. Indeed, the 5K is predicted to take even the fastest competitors well over an hour.

Water stops will be provided during the race.

It should be noted the event, for all its quintessentially British and slightly bonkers qualities, will adhere strictly to all the necessary health and safety regulations. St John Ambulance volunteers will be present on the day as will dozens of marshals to help monitor the course and assist with registration, parking etc.
