Entry is by pre-registration only; there are no entries on the day. The event is restricted to competitors aged over 18. The entry fee is £65 and entry closes on Sunday 12 July 2026.
Race pack collection and a kit check take place in Clitheroe Park. Mandatory kit includes a waterproof coat or running jacket with sealed seams, a long sleeved base layer, a water bottle or bladder with a minimum 1 litre capacity, a fully charged mobile phone, a foil blanket and a whistle.
Return transport to Clitheroe is available for runners for a charge of £10 when booking entry, with approximate return times published at registration.
