Route Maps

Don’t be put off by the name of the ‘uphill’ route – you’re not just running back up the ‘downhill’ route – we wouldn’t be that evil…

The ‘uphill’ route is flat for the first 0.7m and uphill the last 0.3m for an overall elevation gain of just 50-feet – you’ll still achieve fast times! It’ll cost you just £1 extra to do both the downhill and uphill races, plus you have the benefit of the ‘uphill’ race finishing closer to Race HQ for your goody bags!

FAQs

1. Q: Are there on the day entries? Yes, cash and card payments are taken on the day from 9.45am – 10.45am at Race HQ.
2. Q: Are kids allowed? A: Yes, as per UKA guidelines – if under 18 years of age (16 in Wales & Scotland) please indicate a parent or guardian who has given permission for the junior to participate on their entry form. If under 9, please ensure they are accompanied by an adult on the course at all times. Please make sure when entering the child to provide their parent/guardian name & contact details.
3. Q: Are the entry fees for adult & child runners the same? Yes, we’ve kept the entry fees as low as possible whilst ensuring we cover costs.
4. Q: Can I take part with a running buggy? A: Yes. However, we will be allowing running buggies at the entrants own risk. It would be appreciated if these entrants started toward the back. Note: The first third of the downhill course can be quite narrow when considering other runners, pedestrians & cyclists – please take extra care.
5. Q: Can I run with a dog? A: No sorry (unless a medical assistance dog) – UKA guidelines state ‘Dogs are not allowed in any licensed competition unless a special exemption has been granted to a runner accompanied by a medical assistance dog‘.
6. Q: Can I run with headphones? A: We’d prefer you didn’t, to ensure you can hear marshals and members of the public who may be passing by (cyclists). However, as per UKA guidelines ‘Headphones that work by conducting sound through bones and do not sit in the ears are acceptable‘.
7. Q: Do I have to take part in all of the six-part series? Not at all. Whilst it’s a six-part series, you can take part in as many races as you like. These options are available on the entry form. Remember to qualify for series prizes you must take part in 4 out of the 6 event dates.
8. Q: Do I have to run or can I walk it? You can complete the event/s at whatever pace you like! I’m sure our tail-walker will appreciate not having to tail-run…
9. Q: Will I receive a medal or t-shirt? Only if you selected it as part of your ‘optional extras’. Our events will always start as entry-only, with extra’s if you select them (rather than forcing people to take extras at more cost).
10. Q: Are there refreshments? You will receive a 500ml bottle of still spring water after you finish and a goody bag at Race HQ. NOTE: The Hunters pub (Race HQ) bar opens from midday (& not before) for drinks & food.

12. Q: Are there toilets and changing rooms? Yes and No. Toilets will be open at Race HQ, no separate changing rooms are available sorry.
