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.

The start will run up the side of the 18th golf fairway, but we anticipate golfers will not have reached the 18th by 10.30am. They will however be using the nearby 1st tee and we ask that you respect our good friends at the Golf Club doing their chosen sport and keep away from that area.
