FAQ

  • Can I run with a buggy/pushchair?

    Yes you may run with a buggy/pushchair, but please be aware of potential congestion through parts of the course.  You may start with either the wheelchair athletes approximately 15 minutes before the race, or with the tail runner once the main race sets off.

  • I don't have a PayPal account, is there another payment option?

    At the online payment screen there should be the option to check out as a guest. This will allow you to enter your card details without having to set up a PayPal account.

  • Where are good places to go for spectators?

    Clumber Park is a good place if people are members (otherwise there is a charge). Parking is more restricted now so the best place would be behind Central Bark and walk back to Limetree Avenue. Earlier on in the race, Carburton Crossroads near the tea house is good, but due to road closures, this would have to be accessed via the A60 out of Worksop , past Welbeck Garden Centre to the left turn for Norton and Carburton. There's a tearoom on the crossroads too. It wouldn't be possible to get there in time if you wanted to watch the race start.

     

    In short:-

    Manton Lodge layby just off the A57 near Wilkos. Park just outside the gate into Clumber and walk to the corner where Clumber Road meets the Old Coach Road, close to water station 3.

    Clumber Park via Appley Head off the A614. Parking at Central Bark or the main car park and walking to Limetree Avenue. Non members will have to pay.

    Carburton Crossroads close to water station 1, which is only accessable via the A60 Mansfield Road and Norton due to the road closures.

  • What shoes are suitable for the course?

    The majority of the course is on road with only a small section of trail through Clumber Park so road shoes would be best. The course map can be found here.

  • Will there be any pacers?

    There are no pacers for this event. The start is divided into expected finish times so you should be able to position yourself accordingly.

  • Why can't I select my club name from a drop down list on the entry form?
