Facilities:
There are toilets and changing facilities at Heath. There will be Bacon Butties on sale afterwards in the clubhouse, and a SUPER RAFFLE. Please bring a change of socks and shoes as no muddy shoes are allowed in the Clubhouse.
Course:
The
course has slightly changed this year approx. 6 miles long and is
mainly on woodland paths and tracks. It is a bit technical in places
with a mixture of Heavy Mud allied to stones and broken branches, roots, rocks, steep slopes and the infamous 'Log Flume' (which
you will be pleased to know is full at the moment) but it’s XC so
anything can change! Also some short tarmac sections, so we have
something for everyone. (I will be sending you the Strava route when I
recce this on Saturday, and an update on the Log Flume!)
Slight Amendment of the course:
After crossing Wilson bridge the route will take the runners underneath the bridge at Copley. The runners will then turn immediately left on to the lane to Copley Cricket Club (gate to be open on the day). As they approach Copley cricket club, they will then turn right on to walkers’ path, this path will take the runners to the right-hand side of the cricket pavilion. The path then leads the runners under the railway bridge on to the canal tow path. The runners will be on the canal tow path for circa fifteen metres before turn left and going back on to the original route.

Fell or Trail shoes are essential - please do not attempt to run with roadies.
Please listen to and take notice of Marshals instructions - They are there to ensure your safety. Anyone wearing headphones will be removed from the race for this reason.
And don’t forget those all important wristbands and numbers!
