Race Details

Race HQ, Registration and Refreshments Collingbourne Ducis Village Hall, SN8 3UH Tea, coffee and other refreshments will be available
The Course Approximately 12k. Mixture of footpaths, tracks, cross-country and (a little bit) of road. There are a few gentle hills. Spikes are NOT recommended but shoes should have a good grip. No dogs please as there is a possibility of livestock en route
Car Parking You will be directed to the available parking by our marshals. However as parking is limited please consider car sharing if possible. Note that some parking may be 5 – 10 minutes walk away
Toilets, Changing & Showers All at the Village Hall. Note the showers are shared. Please remove shoes before entering if they are muddy
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.
