COVID Modifications

To give the maximum amount of adaptability to whatever COVID-19 related restrictions may be place at the time of the event, the following items will be in place:

NO SPECTATORS
NO BAG DROP (parking is near the start)
We reserve the option to perform waved starts with top 3 finisher prizes being handed out according to chip times after the event
We reserve the option to divert the route to avoid passing into National Trust land (this could see course lengthen to 15 miles and bypass the White Horse Hill)

The most up-to-date information on our COVID modifications will always be on our RiderHQ page.

Minimum Age

Entrants must be at least 18 years of age on the day of the event

Minimum Fitness

We ask that entrants feel that they could achieve a road race half marathon time of less than 2.5 hrs (11.5 min/mile).

There is no cut off time for the race; we expect the longest running times to be around 3 hrs (accounting for the increase in time from road due to trail conditions)
