There will be a £5 charge made at the gate for cars to assist in defraying the costs of the day. PLEASE BRING CASH IF POSSIBLE (Bank Cards are exceptionally difficult to read in this area)

Course

The course (most of 2 laps) is approximately 5 miles (8 km), is undulating, mostly woodland tracks and paths with some muddy areas. A short tarmac road (approx 30M) is situated near the start, resulting in spikes NOT being recommended. For those of you who have run this course before we will be running it in reverse owing to safety reasons.

Dogs

There is a strict ruling about NO DOGS on any of the playing field areas within the college. You can get onto the course without entering the playing field area (the start and finish and team tents / flags will all be on the playing fields) Ask any official for guidance.

Refreshments

There will be no refreshments available this year
