Please note this event has now been cancelled. Please check your emails from us or, alternatively you can see it here. 

We will be refunding everyone that has entered this ‘live’ event just as soon as our insurance money comes through. Please bear with us as this may take a couple of months or so. Alternatively, if you entered the ‘live’ event you can take part in the virtual run instead. There is no need to re-enter simply send us your ‘evidence’ of a 10k run by 31st May and we will send you your medal and, when we are financially able to do so, will refund the difference between the ‘live’ entry fee and the £12 virtual run fee.

An email did go out on 27th March regarding refunds. If you didn’t see it you can see it here.

Event Information

This is an event to raise funds for Arthur Rank Hospice Charity. We would ask competitors to try to obtain sponsorship for their run. A suggested minimum figure to raise would be £25. However, sponsorship is entirely voluntary and is not a pre-requisite for entry to the run.

In addition we will be collecting food donations for the Foodbank at each of our runs. We will publish a ‘shopping list’ of food that is needed, as provided to us via the charity, just before each run. Donations are gratefully received but please donate items from the shopping list only.

Refunds will only be given if requested by the 26th March and will be subject to a 5% administration charge. Cancellations after the 26th March will not be entitled to a refund. Sadly, due to the administration involved we do not offer the chance to transfer your place.

Please check out our FAQs page for answers to most commonly asked questions.

Entry Conditions

This is a multi-terrain event and all competitors enter it at their own risk. While medical assistance is provided for the duration of the event no liability will be accepted by either hoohaah, the Childerley Estates, the charity or individual race organisers for any injury incurred by entering this race.

Closing date for entry is 17th April 2020 or when the race limit has been reached whichever is the earlier. Race limits are sometimes put on our events because of weather conditions or other events and issues that might be taking place at the Childerley Estates.
