Question 1

How do I make changes to my booking? eg changing event, changing distance or adding a camping option?

Accepted Answer

The best way is to click the link in the confirmation email you received. There are then options to 'add items to booking', to change your booking or to transfer your entry to another person. There is an £8 admin fee to change to a different event plus any difference in price

How environmentally friendly are you?

Question 4

Will there be timing chips

Accepted Answer

Yes, we use disposable timing chips are mounted on the back of your race numbers. These need to be attached, preferably using safety pins, to the front of your body above your waist. Please do not cover them with other clothing. If you attach them to your leg or back we cannot guarantee we will be able to detect your chip and you therefore may not receive a time.

Question 5

Are there age group prizes?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we normally have age group prizes for veteran categories in ten year bands. We'll award a prize to any age group that has at least three entries, three weeks before the event, when we order our trophies & prizes.

We operate a one prize per person rule so if the first overall finisher is a vet he/she will only receive the overall prize and the 1st vet prize will go to the first eligible vet.

Question 6

I think I ordered my pack by post but haven't received it?

Accepted Answer

We normally post these out on the Friday nine days before the event, so they should arrive by the Tuesday before the event. In the meantime you can read all the relevant information about the event including maps & the Race Manual on the event page. Click here for the full list of events.
If you're not sure if you ordered your pack by post, please log into your account, using the link in your confirmation email. Then go to the relevant booking & if you ordered pack by post you will see it listed in 'Purchases' with other products you've ordered, such as camping or a race belt.
