Entries, kit and policies
Entries open on 15 August 2025 and close on 13 February 2026. Entry fees are listed as UKA member £37.00 and non member £39.00. There are no entries on the day. Organisers expect the event to sell out and operate a waiting list and a transfer system to move places to another runner.
Participants can choose a "Trees Not Tees" option to contribute to TREES not TEES instead of receiving a race shirt. The race will use a new athletic-fit shirt supplier; organisers advise sizing up and give example ladies sizes. There is a Valentine Pair registration option that can win a couple’s prize and includes a box of chocolates. The event has a no refunds policy for cancellations, and an optional XCover purchase is offered to allow possible refunds for unforeseen circumstances.
