Race fees: affiliated £8, unaffiliated £10 - £2 extra for entry on the day. A proportion of the entry fees will go to the maintenance of the Eastnor Deer Park.

More information and photos to follow. (We have a couple of hundred photos of the event. I shall look at uploading these over the coming week or so.)
We set out the mile markers, finishing gate, etc this morning. The course is quite firm under foot, so we will be all ready for the runners to arrive for the 11:00 start tomorrow morning (Sunday, 19 April). Race numbers will be given out on the day so allow a bit of time before the race to pick up your number - or to register if you have not already done so.As you can see it is quite a stunning finish, although I expect you will be concentrating on this finish sign, rather than the castle in the distance.
