Entry is limited to 400 runners. Standard entry fees are listed as £18 for affiliated runners and £20 for unaffiliated runners, with on-the-day entries accepted for an additional £2 if the limit has not been reached. Entrants must be aged 15 or over on 22 March 2026. Timing is by individual chip.
Finishers receive completion medals. Trophies are awarded to the first three male and first three female finishers, and there are awards for age category winners. A first team award is given to the first three runners home; to qualify for the team award a runner must be wearing a club vest or top.
Race headquarters will offer tea, coffee, water and cake. The route is not suitable for wheelchairs due to narrow roads, limited pavements and occasional muddy patches or potholes.
