  • If in the week leading up to the event very bad weather was looking likely, we would make a call on postponing the event no later than 24hours before. If we were forced to postpone, we would look for a new date either later in the year or in early 2025. Please note we would not be able to offer refunds if runners could not attend the new date, however we would attempt to accommodate them in another of our races where possible.

  • From the moment we begin to organise an event, we start to incur costs. Your entry fee is invested into the cost of staging the event - everything from barriers to toilets, from printing to safety pins, from race numbers to marketing. Organising any event requires a considerable amount of forward planning, risk and expense. Therefore we are unable to offer refunds or defer entries over to the following year..

  • We are working at ways to make our event more sustainable, here are some of the things we are implementing…

    • Race pack pick up on the day.

    • Water station using compostable cups (that we will compost ourselves).

    • We encourages participants to recycle their race bib numbers

    • We encourage runners to look at more sustainable travel, such as car sharing.
