TEAM ENTRIES
You can enter as many runners as you like (one form per runner) in a team with the first three across the line to count. Please note, though, that you do have to enter as a specific team using the same team name — we won’t count three individual runners with the same club affiliation as a team.

SWAPS
Please DON’T allow someone else to use your number if you can’t run — this is a challenging event and it is essential we know exactly who is running on the day. If you’ve already entered and want to do a swap, email us and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.
