RACE RESULTS

Previous years results are available on the 'Results' tab at the top of this page.

HEADPHONES, EARPHONES, EAR-BUDS AND SIMILAR EQUIPMENT

Along with many other race organisers we have endeavoured to persuade runners not to wear headphones, earphones or similar equipment during races. These efforts have failed and consequently we have no alternative but to adopt a strict disqualification practice for any runner seen wearing headphones, earphones or similar equipment. In respect of this race it is important that runners can hear the verbal warnings and instructions issued by race marshals.

DOGS

As much as we love dogs we unfortunately cannot have them racing in our events.

MARSHALS AND VOLUNTEERS

To successfully run our events we require the help and support of marshals and volunteers. If you are able to assist at the event or have friends or family who may be interested, please contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

We look after our marshals and offer free or discounted race entries too!

RACE SAFETY

The golf club and both it's courses will be open on event day, where it has been deemed that runners or golfers could be in danger from each other we have taken measures to limit these risks. The run route has been designed bearing in mind the flow and direction of the golf courses as well as ensuring it has what a runner wants. However please ensure you are always alert to what is taking place around you and don't forget to say 'Good Morning' or 'Swap you' to our fellow outdoor enthusiasts, the golfers.
