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.

Health and Safety

We do our absolute best to make sure your day goes swimmingly but sometimes things go wrong.

If you are unwell, please do not turn up and try to run. The whole thing could unravel very quickly.

Look after yourself and your well being first

Please dress appropriately for the weather. You do not want to get soaking wet only an hour

into your race

The kit list for this event is compulsary for the marathon and upwards.

It is advisory for the 1/2 and the 10k

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

We have Omega Medical attending the event and looking after all the runners. They have been at every Bys Vyken event since 2016 and are thoroughly experienced. We would not trust anyone else

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

The 10k, half and full marathon are timed with ankle tags, so please think where you would like to be at the start line. May not be worth getting trampled on by the stampede.

100 miles -- 36 hours

100k -- 26 hours
