We are sorry to hear that you are not able to run with us this year.  Sadly, we cannot transfer your place to another runner or defer it to next year. We are a charity event run solely by hard-working volunteers. Every penny of the race entry go to hosting the event or our charities.

The route is partially held on roads that will remain open to traffic. For this reason, the wearing and use of all headphones/ earbuds/bone conduction headphones is prohibited during the race. This is for your safety and the safety of other runners, drivers and pedestrians. 

Runners must complete the course within 90 minutes.

Dogs: As the race HQ and finish line are within school grounds, we cannot allow dogs (other than service dogs) onto school premises.

The race route includes sections that run along the river bank or are close to the river. We reserve the right to cancel the race at any point before the race start time should adverse weather conditions render the course unsafe.

Should this occur, notification will be sent by email to your race entry email address.

We regret that we cannot offer refunds if the race is cancelled due to extreme conditions, as we will have already incurred operating costs. We ask for your understanding and support on this matter.
