UK WTC: Pre Backyard Run
The event offers a chance to run a section of the official UK Team Backyard route on the morning of the world championships. The run is limited to two yards of the route so participants can warm up on the trail before the national team begins its competition period. The UK team comprises 15 athletes, and the team will head out alongside representatives from 73 other countries.
Organisers operate a pay-what-you-can pricing system with a minimum payment of £15 per entry. The event is run without external funding, and the organisers aim to raise as much money as possible through donations and onsite fundraising activities. A number of fundraising ideas have been planned that also serve to keep spectators on site and viewers engaged.
The description focuses on the route experience and fundraising format. It states the route is the official UK Team Backyard route and that the timing is on the morning of the championships. Other specific logistical details are not provided here. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
