Registration & Start Times

We will be ready to see you from 1:00 pm

When you arrive you will receive a “Dibber”, an electronic timing chip, given the opportunity to look at the map before you start and an AIRE coach will be on hand to assist to talk you through what to do and answer any questions. The course start will be adjacent. There you receive the map for your course, and you can start at intervals in your own time.

You can start at any time up to 2.30 pm.

Entry Details

We suggest a cash donation of £1 per person for the day.

Course Information

For youngest competitors we provide 3 short courses. Do one and we tend to find a lot of the kids end up doing all three!

For older children and those that have attended earlier events in the series there will be 2 medium courses.

All courses stay inside the park.

Sorry, no long course at this event, but adults may like the Horsforth MapRun (https://www.aire.org.uk/perman...). As it is a 'Start Anywhere' course so it can easily be done from the park.
