Unlike our usual Local events there is just one "course " to enter BUT this allows access to 3 different courses (on 3 separate maps) all of which involve running through the MAZE. There will be no allocated Start times either, just arrive in time to run all 3 courses before the closing time of 16:30.
Juniors can just try the maze free of charge
We will be ordering extra maps so hopefully everyone will get a run even if you can only decide on the day that you can make it.
For this unique event we have adapted the entry system (again) since because of the nature of the courses (each of which includes a narrow maze) we can only cater for individual entries or pairs of juniors or one adult and one junior running together. Each entry assumes one dibber will be used.
To enter as a Student or a Pair please read the additional advice below.
3 map "bundle"
Junior/Student: £4.00/£4.00
Juniors are under 21 on 31st December. To enter as a Student and access the Junior rate see the advice below.
We have SI dibbers for hire free of charge but there is a £30 charge if lost. You carry the dibber with you so that we can time you around the course.
Full details are on the event webpage
First time using this system? To save time when entering future events, please take the time to set up a RACESIGNUP account and create profiles for all the members of the group or family you are entering. You only need to pay once you have entered all the individuals you wish to. More help with entering pairs or groups below.
This entry system is designed for individuals running alone and every individual entry is entitled to one map and use one dibber (hired if necessary). However if you wish to enter as a pair or a student please note the instructions below.
- To enter as a Pair where an adult shadows a Junior
The adult should make the entry using their details, the fee charged ie Senior will be based on the YOB. You can use the comments to choose add the name of the Junior eg The Smith Family or Hamish and John
- To enter a Pair of Juniors
An adult can make the entry but use one of the juniors details, the fee charged ie Junior will be based on the YOB. You can use the comments to add the names of other junior in the pair
- To enter as a Student tick the Are you a Student? box to access the reduced Junior rate.
