Runners v Riders

Registration

Runners v Riders is a festive sporting event held on Boxing Day, where runners compete against cyclists for the prestigious Markham Cup. Originating in the 1930s, this exciting race takes place on a challenging 3-lap course through the muddy terrain of Friday Woods, a military training ground. Participants can also join a junior race covering a shorter distance.

The event emphasizes safety, though it involves a mass start and uneven terrain. Registration opens early on the event day, and participants are encouraged to wear trail trainers. The event is popular among locals and promises a fun challenge for all. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.

Always double-check with the organizer's website – things can change, and we might have sprinted past a few details!
