Course information

The start and finish are a combination of grass and hardstanding. The event site is entirely on grass which is predominantly flat, however it can be uneven. Ground ground conditions may vary according to recent weather conditions

The 10k course is a 5k double lap, predominantly on tarmac paths. It is mostly flat but there are some uphill and downhill gradients which all add to the fun and challenge


Please remember to bring your own water bottle already filled as there will be no bottled water provided at events. There will be a water refill station 1/2 around the course and a Scottish Power water refill station will be available to use at the finish. 


Please arrive 30 to 45mins before your start time so that you are prepared and ready to go on time

Have the right kit
It’s a good idea to check the weather before your event and dress accordingly. Think breathable sports gear (leggings and shorts are ideal) and well-fitting trainers. For Pretty Muddy, wear something you don’t mind getting dirty.
Check out the latest range of Race for Life clothing and accessories in our online shop.

Be sun smart
Stay sun safe by finding shade when you’re not on the course and covering up with clothes, a hat and sunglasses. On parts you can’t cover, use sunscreen with at least SPF15 and a 4 or 5 star rating. Find out more about being sun smart.

Your back sign and race number
Remember to bring your back sign and Race number which will be sent to you in the post – don’t forget safety pins so you can attach them to you.
