Yes on very good firm paths, road shoes are usually ok.
What is the course like?
It’s mainly flat, good underfoot with mostly firm man made wide trails, 2 laps of our tried and trusted course.

No
Is there Parking nearby?
There will be parking available nearby. Its then a few minutes walk to the start (you will be shown the way). Always great to car share though!
The nearest bus stop is the main bus station a few minutes away from the start. Car Park postcode is Reiverdale Road NE63 9YY. It’s behind the old Coop building. Please do not park elsewhere, the shops etc have limited time amounts for parking, that’s your risk, our preferred car park is free for any amount of time. Our car park will be marshalled on the day. As you walk from your car you can walk past/through the bus station and past the Leisure Centre (Toilets are there), over the road and you will see the police station and railway crossing, the start is down that road. We can create 1 or 2 parking bays next to the start for disabled parking, so do contact us via face book or the club website to request this before the race date.
Do I need to register at an HQ?
No, come to the race course for your number
Are there toilets at the Start?
No, the preferred toilets for the race will be the nearby Leisure Centre and or Asda a few minutes’ walk away. You walk past them from the car park
Is there somewhere to leave belongings?
Yes, at the start, Club tent. There will be marshals around most of the time but it’s all left at your own risk.
Will it be chipped timed?
No, gun time.
Do you have a permit to hold the race?
Yes we will, all through the TRA. (Trail runners Association)
Is it accurately measured?
It measured by an accurate trundle wheel, as GPS watches don’t always match in the woods. Take it that it’s as accurate as we can get it.
Are buggies allowed on the course?
No unfortunately not.
Can I run with my dog?
No unfortunately not.
Can I wear headphones or similar devices?
We rather you didn’t, but if you must then UKA approved bone conducting headphones are fine. It’s your responsibility to listen out for marshals or the race directors instructions.
If you wear a hearing aid this is fine.
Can I fold the race number?
No, please don’t. It needs to be worn on the front of your top and nice and clear. Please do not put it onto your shorts, pants or back pack. If you are wearing a club top, then your club identification should be visible at all times.
Do I need to put my details on the back of my race number?
Yes please, it’s important that we can identify you quickly in case of an emergency.

Sorry no entries on the day.
