What about the men?
This is a women’s only trail run BUT… after some enthusiastic requests from the guys, we’ve decided to open entries to men who are willing to run in support of women and dress the part! Wigs, tutus, dresses, pink socks… whatever makes you feel fabulous and festive.
The men won’t be eligible for podium prizes, but will still be entered into the lucky draw!
Late Entries:
Late entries allowed on race day but we cannot promise that we will have enough goodie bags. So rather enter early and avoid disappointment!
Note: Unpaid entries will automatically be deleted after 2 days. Don’t delay.
