The only choice is how far do you want to go?
The race finish is in the camping field of Lamarth Farm campsite
Start positions will vary on your race distance
You will all run the same looped course around the fields and lanes of the farm.
The race is wholly trail and track with some medium gradient hills
The course will be marked with ribbons, tape and arrows
There is one aid station at your 4 mile mark in the event field
You have 7 races to choose from
10k, half marathon, marathon, 50k ,50 miles,100k, 100 miles
Marshals will be a key points on the route to keep you safe and steer you in the right direction.
This race is fun and challenging. Depending on what crops are planted will determine what is underfoot, though the field surrounds will be grass. Be prepared if it rains!

It is built on years of knowledge and for your well being. We would not run without it
No on the day entries and you will be asked for photo ID.
For safety and medical reasons, we must make sure nobody is running under someone else's name. It is foolhardy and dangerous

It also has our emergency contact numbers on it
If at any point, you feel the need to retire from the event. Please get word to a marshal or contact us directly. We need to know that you are safe.
Please respect the environment and do not litter, deliberate acts of littering will be a disqualification
Keep left on the course and please overtake runners responsibly on the right. Respect everyone
