The above are straight line distances so expect to run a good bit further than that. Sometimes the short course is simply a shorter version of the long course using the same map. Please check this on the evening when you arrive.
The courses are mainly on city streets which means that ALL under 16s MUST be accompanied by an adult throughout their course.

After that you are welcome to EMAIL to check if there is still a map available for your chosen course. Entry on the evening of the event may still be possible, subject to spare maps being available, but to be guaranteed a map please pre-enter by the time and date given.

Remember that because of the road crossings ALL under 16s must be accompanied at all times by an adult when running. An adult shadower may request as additional map (£1) or may register separately if they want a map and a separate result. It is ok to run together and both get results. These events are very informal.
