The Christmas Caper is a challenging off-road event including some difficult terrain. Depending on the weather, the course may include wading through deep water, avoiding branches and negotiating mud. Lots of mud.  It’s great fun, but please ensure you have the required level of fitness to complete the course. Some walking is expected but please remember this is a run not a walk and we reserve the right to withdraw runners from the race who have not made sufficient progress through checkpoints. Trail shoes are recommended.

Fancy dress optional!  

Race number and chip collection will be from 9:30 am on the day.  Please fill in the reverse of your number with your details, emergency contact and any medical conditions.

The Caper often sells out so book in plenty of time.
