How to mange your team
Intro
Registration (entry) and payment is online via RaceSpace only. No new registrations on event day. On event day you must go to registration with your ticket on your phone or printed.
Create a team
You can create a team when you first register through RaceSpace. You can either:
1. Create a team and secure all team places by buying all at once (with 'speedy checkout') and then invite your team members to complete their own registration details.
2. Create a team and pay for yourself only, then invite all team members to sign up and pay individually to your team
Age rules
The minimum age is 16 (on the day of the event). If you are 16 or 17 (on the day of the event) your parents or legal guardian will agree and accept all the event terms and conditions and consent to your participation by signing an additional ticket we will email 10 days prior to the event.
Refunds or deferrals: We operate a 14-day cooling off period. If you cancel your entry you will receive a refund of the Entry Fee minus a £5 service fee. To apply for a refund, you must email us within 14 days of payment of the entry fee. This rule does not apply within the 14 days prior to the event where no refunds can be given at all.
Your entry fee is non-refundable (after the 14-day cooling off period) unless we have to postpone or cancel the event due to adverse weather, in this case you will be offered a deferment to any of our future events or a full refund, minus the booking fee.
Replacement runner
If you can no longer make the race you can transfer your entry to a friend free of charge. Please email us at hello@zoneevents.co.uk with this request. We will issue you with access code to pass onto your replacement so they can register themselves. There may be an extra charge for them depending on what price your original ticket was. The deadline for transfers is 17/08/2024.
Individual deferments: We are not able to offer individual deferments to future years.

- The event is timed with electronic timing chips using the Sport Ident timing system.
- Your lap is counted and timed every time you pass through the start/finish line area and 'dib' your race timing chip in a receiver.
- This timing chip will be on a lanyard so you can carry it around your neck
- Team members will pass this timing chip on like a relay baton to the next team member at the transition area at the start/finish line
- If a solo runner or a whole team decide to take a rest, i.e no one running on the course, you can exit at the transition area to pause the lap time. When you are ready to start your next lap again you can 'dib in' at the transition area to resume the lap time
- Real time result updates will streamed live throughout the event and final results will be emailed to all participants. Extreme bragging rights will also be availible when we upload results onto social media for shortly after the event.
There will be a prize giving directly after the event has finished.

Spectators
We welcome your supporters and spectating is free but we do charge a small fee for per car for parking to cover costs. There are several great vantage points from which friends and family can watch and photograph your achievement. They can also enjoy the excellent food, drink and atmosphere. If they are planning to camp as well they will need to purchase an additional camping ticket
Children
There is some great spectating to be had! However, for their own safety you must not allow children access onto the course during the race. Children are allowed to stay in the campsite and additional camping tickets may be required depending on age.
Dogs
Dogs are allowed onsite but not on the course as part of the race. They must be kept on leads and under very close control around the event base and campsite. Dog poop... you all know what to do! Please only bring sociable dogs. Please be aware there may be fireworks at 10pm signalling the half way point.
