A change of registration venue this year (2026) - The Kngs Arms pub (easy access to beer!) - race start is still rectory field.

There will also be a food option in the Hayloft at the Kings Arms (Curries, Naan bread, Chips) - £14.

Online entries available this year (2026) via SI here.

Informal night race; route will be heavily marked (unless ponies knock the markers down or tourists pinch them). Head torch, map, compass, waterproof top with hood and trousers, hat and gloves and suitable running shoes (the first half of the descent is steep and slick). Proceeds to local charities. Christmas fancy dress "essential" (as is full FRA kit please).

For 2026: The race route is back to the "original" route. That is up Rectory field, up 100 steps and up the ridge to Yearlet summit. And then down into Townbrook Hollow, into Rectory wood to finish by the Scout hut.
