There will be no official baggage drop as most people use their cars. If you haven’t arrived in a car you are welcome to leave your bag with event staff.

For the children there is a one lap 1K race for younger children aged 3-7.

Routes are clearly marked with reflective poles and arrows. There will be larger A4 arrows this year (orange arrows on white backgrounds with 50mm orange reflective tape) to ensure there’s no chance of confusing them with the in-situ Forestry England arrows).

Head torches or chest torches will be needed.

Sustainability

  For all events which include a t-shirt, there is the option to plant a tree instead through a partnership with Treesnottees

  New paper cups have been sourced to be fully recycled back into high-grade paper.
