How do I get my race number and timing chip?

If you enter the race prior to November 9th, your first name will be printed on your race number and this will be posted out to you along with your electronic chip and race information pack.

If you enter the race between November 9th and November 17th, your race number will be posted out to you along with your electronic chip and race information pack. (no name will be printed)

If you enter the race after November 17th, you will need to pick up your race number, electronic chip and race information pack, on the day from Registration Enquiries. This will be open between 8:30am and 9:45am.

Can I enter on the day?

I’m not going to be able to participate, do you offer a refund?

In common with the vast majority of races we do not offer refunds or deferrals.

Can I transfer my entry to someone else?

We appreciate that some runners will get injured in the build up to the race so we allow numbers to be transferred up to and including 29th November. Requests received after this date will not be permitted. (Note: Anyone who runs under someone else’s number will be disqualified and banned from future events) To transfer please get in touch with us using the contact form

What sort of trainers should I wear?

The majority of the course is run on tarmac and pavement and so road shoes are recommended. There is however approx 1.5 mile of trail which may require some better grip if the weather takes a turn for the worse. Please use your judgement closer to race day when choosing your footwear.
