Overview

And, for the junior racers is a brand new family event!

This 2km race will be chip timed and will give aspiring junior racers a chance to take part in their very own, dedicated event.  The race will take place before the main race, on the trails and paths around Bedgebury and will be fully marshalled.

Because of the site location at Bedgebury, this will be a relatively challenging junior race but we look forward to cheering young runners as they cross the finish line! The first boy and girl will receive a trophy.

Headphones

In the ear and over the ear headphones are not permitted.

Bone conducting headphones are permitted however, you are asked to have the volume turned down low enough to hear the marshal instructions.

Looking forward to the event next year. Stacy H

Wanted to end the year with a good trail half and this was certainly no disappointment! Julian C

I was really looking forward to this run as it was my first trail run half and was nice to run somewhere a little different.

Overall a great run, well organised by nice work, nice medal at the end too. Would definitely do it again next year.
