The early bird price of £16 is available until 1 December 2026. From then until 12:00 on 2 January 2027 the standard price is £18.
The event goes ahead in normal winter conditions. If severe weather, unsafe ground or circumstances beyond the organisers' control mean it cannot safely run on Sunday 3 January 2027, it is postponed to the reserve date of Sunday 17 January 2027. If that date also cannot be used, the event is cancelled.
Trail shoes are highly recommended. The course is multi-terrain with hills, woodland trails and open ground, and January conditions usually mean mud and slippery sections.
The race starts at 09:00. Runners must start their second 5km lap by 10:00 to continue in the 10K. Anyone who has not started the second lap by then is not permitted to continue and is recorded as a 5K finisher.
A barcode scanning system is used. It works well but may not be fully accurate if runners switch between the 5K and 10K on the day, so bring your own timing device if your time matters to you.
