Event overview

The Race is a community occasion which raises funds for the running of the Village Hall. The Hall acts as a base and check-in. The Race this year is organised by Guy Wilkinson, whose contact details are on the race entry link below. Post-race refreshments are provided by the Village Community and a number of villagers act as marshals and help manage the car-parking. Around 400 runners usually enter the Race. Please note that some of the route crosses private land, which is used with the permission of farmers. Thanks in advance to the many volunteers who help by providing soup and cake and to marshals, car park and kitchen volunteers (and many others behind the scenes).

4 steps to wellbeing
Sleep well

A good night's sleep is an essential foundation for a healthy lifestyle, effective training and weight control.

Train slow

Low-intensity training is easier for you, reduces the risk of injury and helps builds an efficient aerobic system.

Eat natural

Cut out sugar & junk food, reduce carbs, eat natural foods and train your body to burn fat for fuel.

Get outdoors

Fresh air, natural light and reconnecting with nature all help to improve mental and physical wellbeing.
