Starting by the bridge at the bottom of Brunthwaite Lane this is an uphill road race, not for the faint hearted
This is a fun event which regularly attracts several hundred runners who take on the challenge of the tough uphill course. The course winds its way up Brunthwaite Lane, with little respite, until finally turning the corner and the finish is in sight where the road meets Light Bank Lane. Many of the competitors are local primary school children as the race is promoted in several of the schools.
Cadbury Cream Egg for all race finishers this year

Registration time 6.00 pm
Registration and parking is in a different field this year. Its on the right just before you reach the bridge. Look for a grassy track between the houses just as you reach the village green. There is then a snicket from the field which leads to the start line.
Please assemble and wait on the village green before the start of the race. When requested to move to the start line, allow faster runners to move to the front, slower runners should keep to the back.
