Bring full kit

Worried about not being able to run because you are not sure what kit you need. Well here is a list of what this event constitutes as “full kit”. And I’d recommend bringing the lot just encase the weather takes a turn for the worse.

Kit swap

Looking to declutter your running gear collection or find some new-to-you items for your next run? Our Kit Swap is the perfect solution! Here's what you need to know:

🔄 Purpose: Our Kit Swap promotes sustainability within our running community by encouraging the reuse and recycling of gently used gear. It's a chance for us to share resources, support each other, and reduce our environmental impact together.

🛍️ How It Works: Bring your unwanted or lightly used running gear to the race. You can browse through the items available and take what you need, or contribute your own gear to the swap.

👟 Items Accepted: We accept a wide range of running-related gear, including shoes, clothing, hydration vests, hats, gloves, and more.

🌟 Benefits: By participating in the Kit Swap, you'll declutter your gear collection, find new items for your runs, and connect with fellow runners in our community. Plus, you'll be helping to reduce waste and support sustainability efforts.

📜 Guidelines: Please follow our guidelines for the Kit Swap to ensure its success. Items should be clean and in good condition.

🌈 Post-Event: Any remaining items from the Kit Swap will be donated to charity or organizations that support runners in need. You're also welcome to take back any items you contributed but did not exchange.

Walking course recce and litter pick

On Thursday, 21st November at 12:00pm, we’ll be holding a route recce and litter pick in preparation for the upcoming fell race. We’ll walk the 5.7km route to familiarise ourselves with it and ensure everything is in good condition. During the walk, we’ll also be collecting any litter we find to help keep our trails clean and enjoyable for all. Your involvement will not only help us prepare the route but also contribute to preserving our beautiful landscape. We look forward to seeing you there!
