Follows the Cilcain Skyline. Mostly good easy running with a couple of climbs. Checkpoints will be punch controls.
Handicap race. NO SOLO RUNNERS. Pairs, trios, quads or more. Only lead runner needs to enter (they will fill in the other runners details). Start as a group – finish as a group. Will be chilled out event where you can run with mates or as a club. Good winter leg stretch and pint afterwards.
Handicap rules: Time bonuses – Trio’s get 5 min bonus – Quads (& more) get 10 min – Mixed team 10 min – All female 20 min – Oldest runner in team V40 5 min; V50 10 min; V60 15 min; V70 20 min; V80 25 min….. AND NEW FOR 2026… plus 5 min per multiple age category (i.e. if V40 & V50 runners in team extra 5 min, add a senior – another 5min, add a V60 – another 5min)… basically a scoring system so complex that not even the RO knows how to score it.
If you want to run out earlier then let me know as the course will be set early doors. e.g. if any juniors want to run and get home in time for cocoa.
Bring a headtorch and carry full safety gear in your pair/group – including group shelter, spare torch/batteries, first aid kit, etc. Lets stay safe out there folks.
Prizes will be old skool.
Any proceeds from race will go to Cilcain Loos – community run toilets who have done an amazing job since the local council decided that public toilets were an inconvenience.
