Directions / Parking
If the Park and Ride car park is closed we will park along a small road that runs parallel and to the east of Silk Mills Road. Turn into the Park and Ride and follow the parking signs.
Course Information
Courses cater from beginners through to a good club standard and vary in length from 1.5km to 3.5km. We call the courses Hare, Squirrel, Badger and Fox and these offer a clear progression in the difficulty level. Fox course incorporates adult training exercises.
The Badger and Fox courses go into the urban area to the southwest of Longrun Meadow so competitors under 16 years old will have to be accompanied or followed by an adult.
Entry Details
£1 per head for everyone (whether a member or not).
Second runs are an additional £1.
