Entry and rules
The event is run as a predicted-time race: participants submit a guessed finish time and races are judged against that prediction. No timekeeping devices or watches are allowed, including GPS gadgets. Prizes are awarded to those nearest their predicted time, for best full fancy dress costume, and as spot prizes. Children are encouraged to run with their parents. Entry fee is £5, or free for entrants wearing a full fancy dress costume (not just a mask or a Santa hat).
