Festival questions:
Will there be a warm communal space area at the Festival?
Our Race HQ is a marquee that is dry, sheltered and fairly warm! It is located alongside the camping area and the area for those who are using campervans. Registration, prize giving and entertainment will take place in the marquee. Seating isn’t provided, so you’ll need to bring your own camping chair!
Are meal costs included in the event ticket? If not, what are the costs of food approx?
Meal costs are not included in the event ticket. A guide to costs will be provided in the Race Pack that goes out approximately a week before the event.
What vegan food options will be available?
We will have a stone baked pizza van available for evening food. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten free pizzas will all be available. Snacks and drinks will also be available from the van throughout the day, details of which will be available in the race pack that is sent out closer to the time.
Will there be refreshments and food at check points? If so, what will the options be?
There are no checkpoints on the Trail Mix Challenge or Headlight Hop events, as these are just 5k/10k in distance. Runners will be encouraged to take out with them on the course, grab from their tent/bag or purchase from the food van anything they need nutrition-wise to see them round. Water containers will be accessible from the start/finish area throughout the course of the weekend for everybody to fill up their cups/flasks. The half marathon event on the Sunday will have three water stations on route, at approximately miles 3, 7 and 10. These will just contain water.
