Frequently asked questions

How do I enter everyone in my team or my partner as a pair? You can still use the traditional paper form along with a cheque, but the best way is to enter online through this page. If entering as a pair or team, each person will need to be entered individually. Each of you can do this separately, or one person can add each person as long as they have their details by adding each entry to the basket.

Can team members or pairs run together? No, only one person can be on the course at one time.

As a pair, can one person run more laps than the other? Yes, as long as complete 10 laps between you, it doesn't matter how you split the laps. This can be a good option for marathon training, where one completes 8 laps (20.96 miles), the other 2 laps (5.24 miles).

A team member has pulled out, what now? You can replace members of your team or your partner (if entering as a pair). Just let us know at number pick up on the day, so we have everyone's correct details. There are no refunds once entered.

What results will be published? Will they go on Power of 10? Solo entries will be recorded on Power of 10 and Run Britain Rankings with the marathon finish time. Relay events are not compatible with these sites, so won't be recorded. Full results will be added to this page as soon as possible after the event.
