NEW FOR 2026 - TIMING CHIPS: We are using hand-held timing chips this year. Each runner must carry the timing chip strap/band in their hand during their section of the race. At each changeover, the outgoing runner must pass the timing chip to the next runner after crossing the timing mat.It is the runner’s responsibility to ensure the timing chip is correctly passed on. If the chip is not transferred correctly, your result may not be recorded and you may not appear in the results.

You can enter a team of mixed ages, we will assign you to the age cat based on the youngest person in the team, unless they are a junior then the team will default to a senior team.
If a team is short then a team member may run 2 legs - in the spirit of things we'd prefer this to be done only if absolutely necessary.
Somebody may run for two different teams as long as they are in different team category.
Second claim club members can run as long as their first claim club is not taking part.
