Run under Association of Running Club rules,  ARC permit ARC TBC

Nearly all the 12 km course is off-road and because of the November weather it could be very cold, wet and slippery underfoot, spikes are not recommended!

The race includes a river crossing but in the event of high water level, in the interest of safety, runners may be directed to cross via the bridge instead. We know the river crossing is very popular but your safety is paramount.
