About The Event
If you're looking to spice up your run or you need some running like you've never needed running before, then this is the event for you! Come and celebrate all things Spice Girls and as long as you walk/run 5km you can stop right now and thank us very much, as we've made a medal with an awesome touch! **Fancy dress is optional but definitely encouraged!**
Due to the overwhelmingly positive feedback in response to the Spice Girls medal from our March event in Surrey, we have decided to host a similar run in the picturesque Dare Valley in Wales where you will also be able to get your hands on that fabulous medal!
This is a 7 hour Time Challenge event which allows you full control over the distance you want to run.
The minimum distance is 5km, which is part of a lap. A full lap is 4.37 miles (7km) and you can run as many or as few of these laps as you wish in the 7 hour time limit which starts from the official event start time. It is 3 laps for a half marathon, 6 for a marathon and 7 or over for an ultra, we also have a 50km distance available.
The course is around the beautiful Dare Valley Country Park on well maintained paths. There are lovely views of the surrounding country side making this an interesting course to run. We have a fantastic route that is all on well maintained footpaths so is perfect for a road trainer.
As long as you complete 5km, you will be an official finisher and you will receive one of our fantastic medals! We also have distance pins available for anyone who runs a half-marathon distance or more. Pins available to collect are our Half-Marathon, Mega-Half, Marathon, 50km and Ultra pins. You will receive one pin on the ribbon of your medal to reflect your achievement.
Absolutely! You earned the calories after all, so all our finishers get a goody bag. As well as our standard goody bag, with a selection of various goodies to choose from, we also have a fabulous vegan goody bag for our vegan runners.
We have a fantastic aid table and drinks table at the start / finish of each lap. There is a great selection of savoury, sweet, fruit, cheese and vegan items at the aid table.
If our event is a special event for you, for instance your 50th, 99th, 100th, 200th, 250th etc., half or full marathon then please let us know. You will receive a special running number with your name on it and the date of the event. Also, if it is your birthday run then again please let us know as we have a fabulous special birthday number for you too!
The venue has toilets available for runners. but there are no separate changing facilities or showers. There is also a great cafe which serves hot drinks and food, this is right by the race HQ.
There is free parking at the venue.
Final race day instructions will be sent out via email 10 days prior to the event with full race day information. Number pick up is on the day at race registration before the start of the event.
There will be somewhere to leave a bag at the start / finish area. However, this is not a secure bag and the items cannot be watched at all times so please don't leave anything valuable.
Bone conducting headphones ONLY are allowed.
Our running events are help on public footpaths so we would be grateful if all runners were considerate of other path users.
