Hilly Helmet Challenge - The 9 Lives Of Hilly Helmet

Hilly Helmet rides again at Leighton Recreation Centre, Westbury on 6th August 2025 starting promptly at 7pm. With a 3rd 'Runners Rated' Racecheck award to our name for our 2024 event, its great to be back for our 9th year as we once again help raise funds for the charity Brain Tumour Support. Please visit their website to see the range of services they provide at www.braintumoursupport.co.uk

Prizes will be awarded to the first male and female finshers and of course there's a prize for the best helmet worn to take part on the night. We love to see you getting creative and as this year is the number 9, we're hoping the 9 lives of Hilly will get your creative juices flowing to put you in with a chance of walking away with the much coveted Best Helmet prize. In any event, taking part in a helmet you feel comfy in, decorated or not, will help you to experience the whole sensation of taking part in a helmet.

Every participant will also receive one of our unique pottery mementos as they cross the finish line of course.

It was great to have Westbury cricket club offering refreshments again last year which they'll be doing it once again, along with a BBQ.

We regret that due to the nature of the course it is unsuitable for wheelchairs and with an eye on all our particpants safety, runners are not permitted to run with dogs while taking part as some trails get quite narrow and depending on the weather could also become slippery.

An Association of Running Clubs Race Permit will be in place for the event.

We're so grateful for your support and keen to keep our event good value at just £18 or £16 with £2 discount to members of ARC and England Athletics Affiliated clubs. This will rise to £20 & £22 respectively for on the night entry.
