This event is a revamped and improved version of the Viper 15 mile trail run and back after a long absence!  Now with even more trail and less tarmac.  This is a charity based event, raising money for https://home-startessex.org.uk/

£2 per entry will go to the charity from your entry fee.  We would really like you to fund raise for them too by gaining sponsorship (register charity number 1170940.)  You can also donate during the sign up process.  

There will also be a 15k route for those wanting to go shorter and/or faster or for a long brisk walk. 

Both options are a great training opportunities for those taking part in the Chelmsford Marathon events. And being trails, our event offer a different surfaces and environments to run on and experience,.....you may even see magnificent stags at the start of the ruck!

Parking in the public car-park opposite the Black Bull and in the pub car-park.  However, we would encourage participants to walk/cycle/bus to the location as spaces are limited.  There is a great cycle route through Admirals Park from the train station and city centre that brings you close by (the venue is located at the top of "the hill" on the Chelmsford Central parkrun course.)

Registration will open at 12:05 in the beer garden.  This is where you can collect your race numbers, water bottle, event T-shirts etc.  This will also be the start and finish is location.  The first 10 runners will set off at 12:30 (in numerical bid order) and then at one minute intervals.  The race start sheet will be emailed to you in the last week of September (on whatever day it is that I get a day off to do it!)

The route is narrative and Strava based. https://www.strava.com/routes/2861749849215681606

Awards for fastest top 3 M & F in the long run.  (The shorter run/walk option is non-competitive)

All finishers get a cool as a bull medal, a free beverage and 10% off of their food bill when you hand in your race number to the staff.

Full results will be on our website by 02/10/2023
