Race Permit

Cath & Tim first met as children in 1991, so we go back a long way!

Tim is a highly experienced ultra runner, with a huge passion for the outdoors. He works as a nurse in the NHS, loves chocolate, and hates coffee.

Cath is a marathon runner and loves being in the great outdoors. She is a professional photographer, loves chocolate, and LOVES coffee..

As runners who started off as walkers, and who are still very keen walkers, we wanted to make our event as inclusive as possible, with a cut off long enough to allow it to be walked if running isn’t your thing.

From the first to cross the line, to the final finisher, we’ll be cheering you all on - you’re all equally important to us!

We are passionate about our commitment to making all our events as environmentally friendly as possible. We have pledged to have no single-use plastics at our events, including check point snacks. We have a strong bond with Trees not Tees, and are encouraging the planting of a tree either instead of a finishers T-Shirt, or as well as.. because that's the best of both worlds!
