Organisers Instructions:

This year's route will start and finish at the old golf course fairway at the Gap before heading through the forest via the single track. From there you head for a loop over Tree Rock, coming down the boneshaker and back to the gap to finish on a fast downhill. Total distance is 9.1kms. Junior race will be a shorter 5k route on the trails adjacent to Ticknock. There will be marshals to show the juniors the way. TWO PORTALOOS will be provided on the day so please use these and not the fixed toilets behind the Gap Kitchen as they are for customers of the Gap.

Prizegiving Location:

The prizegiving and raffle will take place at the Gap Kitchen beside the finish line. We will also have some food from the cafe for those who would like to stay around.

Volunteers (Running)

Check with race director if they have a need for people volunteering and running. Race directors need a minimum number of people available throughout the race to make the race work so non-running volunteers are preferable. While it can be helpful, volunteering in a volunteer and race capacity does not count towards qualifying for end of year prize
