📢Call out to past competitors! 📢
As we celebrate the 45th running of the race we are endeavouring to create a record of past T-shirt designs. As you can see below we have a number already, but there are gaps.
Can you help?
Photos of the T-shirt or you wearing one would be greatly appreciated.

Just under 40 days to go - how did that happen?? 🫣

As it was last year, this year is also a cupless event. There will be water on the course to fill up, but please do bring your own containers to fill.

Collapsible cups will be available to buy on the morning of the event if needed!
