There will be marshalls on site to direct you to the start from Station Road. Please park courteoulsy for local residents.

 

Facilities:

This year we will be using the facilities of the cricket club at Wheatley Park, who will be opening early to provide pre-race coffees etc and race goers will be able to use their toilets. 

 

After the race we will be going back to the cricket club for refreshments. This year we intend to have a raffle, so if anyone would like to donate a prize please bring it with you. Please ensure that any muddy footwear is removed before and after the race.

 

There will be some portaloos at the start area but there will be no changing facilities. 

Course:

You will be pleased to hear that the course has not changed this year, so you will be going up the Eiger!!!

We have done a recce and the course is VERY wet and slippy. The fields are waterlogged and there are the usual hazzards when you go through the woods (branches, roots etc).

We recommend that you wear your most aggressive footwear you have if you want any chance of staying upright. Please take extra care on the route. In short, the course this year is not for the faint hearted.

As you know, the route goes through farmers fields, and near to a riding stables. Please keep an eye out for any horses or livestock on the course. Please also keep an eye out for any People who maybe walking dogs in the Woods.

As per previous events we have a cut of time of 35 minutes to reach the 2 mile marker. Anyone who does not get to the marker within that time will be re-directed to the start.

We look forward to welcoming you on Sunday.
