To minimise the disruption to local residents, and reduce walk times to registration, we ask that you car share where ever possible.
Cheriton Farm is a private property being made available for the event, therefore there will be limited facilities

- Refreshments will be on sale during and after the races
The event will be licensed by the Trail Running Association
