The series is designed to cater for beginners of all ages.
All children and young people can take part in the events.
We also welcome adults who would like to try out the sport
Parkland venues are chosen so suitable courses can be planned in a safe environment.
A comprehensive risk assessment will have been carried out by the organiser, but participants take part at their own risk and are responsible for their own safety during the event. Parents are expected to shadow young and/or inexperienced children.
Because of the wooded nature of this area and large size of the Park we will ask that adults accompany junior beginners .

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 2:30pm.
Entries are £1 for each person for their first course. After that that there is no charge for running more courses.
For youngest competitors we provide three Short (about 1- 1.5km) courses. Do one and we tend to find a lot of the kids end up doing all 3!
For Adult beginners,older children and those that have attended earlier events in the series there will be 2 Medium courses ideal for someone with a “Park Runner” type background.
All courses stay inside the park and do not cross any public roads
