FAQ

Q. What time to I need to get there?
A. Find out how to find us. Registration is open from 10:15 am to 10:45 am. Allow enough time to park and collect your runner's wrist band. The Run Briefing will be at 10:55 and the run will start at 11:00.

Q. What will the route be like?
A. Our 5km route is ideal for anyone kickstarting a running or walking journey as a New Year's resolution or for seasoned runners who simply love being outside. It's also a brilliant opportunity to for families or groups of friends to enjoy a fun run together. Soak up the fresh air, the glorious views, and the tranquil atmosphere. You'll wind through some of the most scenic areas of the Reserve, enjoying nature at its winter best.

Q. Who is it suitable for?
A. This event is for everyone from fitness walkers to casual joggers and serious runners. Children are very welcome, accompanied 1:1 by a responsible adult if under 12. However, the course can't cope with dogs or buggies. 

Q. What's included in the price?
A. Car parking (normally £5/car) and a unique wooden finisher's medal, crafted from a fallen ash tree on the Reserve. As this is a run, not a race, there will be no chip timing, prizes or results list. It's just for fun!

Q. What facilities are available?
A. We have onsite toilets, an under-cover bag-drop area, and the cosy Kingfisher Café (open 10 am – 4:30 pm) where you can warm up with a hot drink and enjoy a slice of home-made cake after the run.

Q. How muddy will it be?
A. That depends on the weather! The terrain varies from wide woodland tracks to grassy trails which often get very slick in the winter. (We are a Wetland Reserve after all!) There is also a short section of concrete road. It won't be as intense or extreme as events like Spartan, but nor is it suitable for the brand-new road shoes you got for Christmas! Please wear trail shoes such as Mud Claws and expect to get a bit dirty!

Q. I don't want to run, but can I help out on the day?
A. Wonderful! Please email us at [email protected]. We will do our best to reply promptly, but please bear with us over Christmas and New Year.

Q. How can I contact you if I have a question that isn't answered here?
A. Please email us at [email protected]. We will do our best to reply promptly, but please bear with us over Christmas and New Year.
