The event is very unlikely to sell out this year. Many races are experiencing a drop in their numbers. It would be great if you could sign up in advance at https://www.eventrac.co.uk/e/frieth-hilly-4034 However, we will have entries open on the day but please be there by 09:00 so we can get you processed.

There is a large car park (field) at the top of the village. It will be well signposted, and we will have a marshal present. As the car park is on the 10km run route we will close this at 0945. Please park considerably.

You'll pick this up on race day morning, from the Race HQ, situated inside the village hall. Please pick it up by 0945. We will provide safety pins

Not for the 5km but we would like all 10km runners to be complete by 11:30 so we can start the prize giving soon afterwards.

No. But you are more than welcome to leave a bag in the school hall when you run. Please note that whilst the hall will have marshals in it, we will not take responsibility for these bags.

Over half of both courses is either on the road or light tracks; there are only small sections which are truly off road and can become a bit slippy if we have rain. So, it’s up to you; both will work just fine.

No. We use public foot paths and local roads. All runners need to be considerate to all other road users (walkers, horse riders and cyclists). The course is well marshalled, and they will inform you if there is anything you need to be aware of.

There is a water station at 1.5km for the 5km and 6.5km. This will be run by our local Scout group, so please give them a high five!

We hope not! We have lots of marshals out on the course and the course itself is well signposted. We also have a mountain biker acting as a sweep to ensure we pick up any stragglers.

Yes. We are members of the Association of Running Clubs and both races are fully covered by our race permit.

Yes. We have Bucks Events Medics onsite at HQ. They have a 4x4 that can deploy to pretty much anywhere on the course.

Lots! Firstly, for all runners there will be a medal and some goodies to help you replenish straight away. There will then be refreshments stand selling hot and cold drinks, bacon baps and cakes. Let’s just hope your supporters have left something for you!

Every year we lay on water in plastic cups for the runners but every year we throw away hundreds of these cups – what a waste. We will happily provide water but what we would kindly ask (where possible) is you to bring your own vessel and you drink from that; we will very happily refill it for you. Together we can reduce our plastic consumption at the race.

I’m afraid we can not have dogs on the course as the school is a dog free zone and the finish line is in the school grounds.
We are more than happy for people to cycle to and from the run and there are plenty of places to stash your bike.
