This is the annual Serpentine pilgrimage down to the Isle of Wight for the Southern Fell Racing Championships.

It's a two day, three stage event running up and down, and around, some of the Isle of Wight's finest hills and countryside. Ability level varies enormously, so everyone is welcome regardless of ability, but remember that stage 3 is an extremely hilly half marathon so you must have prepared accordingly if you wish to enter this stage. The others are somewhat shorter distances but they are not necessarily any easier!

The race format is below. You can compete in just one, two or all three events but if you want to be eligible for the SEAA & overall prizes you MUST compete in and complete all three races AND run in a serpie vest. Be prepared for a little peer pressure from your colleagues if team awards are on the line.

Race 1 - St Boniface 3 miles 775ft ascent @ 11.00am on the 15th

Race 2 - Ventnor Horseshoe 7 miles 1500 ft ascent @ 3.00pm on the 15th

Race 3 - Wroxall 13 miles 1500 ft ascent @ 10.30am on the 16th

Accommodation is on a B&B basis and will cost approx £50-£55 per person per night. This figure is based on the staying in a two bed room in the Burlington hotel so this may vary slightly if numbers require us to book other hotels or where you are in a room of more than 2 people.

All the travel and accommodation is organised for you, all you have to do is enter all / any of the events in advance. The closing date for SEAA entries is normally a week before the actual weekend (remember this!!) but you can even just enter on the day. Again, don't worry about the FRA details – they know who we are!!

The payment of £65 that you're hopefully about to make is made up of a £55 deposit for your accommodation (the balance of which to be paid on arrival) and a £10 contribution towards transport costs (the remainder of which is generously subsidised by Serpentine). Note that, unfortunately, this deposit is non-refundable as we have to book & pay for the accommodation in advance.
