Please reserve a space here if you plan to join. We also require runners to bring a headtorch and a jacket. Bringing some water and a snack is advisable. Routes will change each time and be shared in advance. New paths to find, and old ones to connect. Route for 018 can be found here. Please familiarise yourself with the route prior to the run.
