Categories, kids and facilities
Categories include Adult & Junior (ages 14–49), Vet (50+) and a Kids Event for under 14s (age on the day). The U14 course is shorter and less technical; parents may run alongside their children. All kids finishers receive a medal and a small prize. The venue offers free on-site parking about 100 m from the start/finish, free camping without prior booking, toilets, catering, bag storage and a professional photographer. The course is shaped in a figure 8 around the arena for easy spectating. The route includes a feature called the "Ditch of Doom" with a drier option and is harder to access without a bike. A Scott Sports shoe demo is available at the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
