The Scary Scamper
The Scary Scamper is a trail race held within the grounds of Pengethley Manor, Ross-on-Wye, and is part of a Halloween series of events. Entrants choose from several distances and have a seven hour limit to complete their chosen target.
The available distances are:
- 5k (two laps)
- 10k
- Half Marathon
- Marathon
- Ultra
Each lap measures 2.5 km. The course is offroad, entirely within the manor grounds, and includes a hill on each lap plus a series of climbs and descents through two vineyards. The event is described as suitable for both walkers and runners. The majority of routes are not signed; marshals are placed in selected locations.
Entries include race and virtual options. Virtual participation can be recorded for free via a Strava group but only paid virtual entries receive a medal. Medals for the Halloween series are themed and may be supplied in green or orange depending on availability; race and virtual medals are the same type. International postage for medals carries an additional cost.
Entry fees are non refundable. A charity entry option is available for a reduced fee subject to a minimum fundraising commitment. Entrants must be aged 18 or over. Personal cancellation insurance and a fee to defer entry up to four weeks before the event are offered under the organiser's terms and conditions.
