Stride into Spring March

As you know we are a small, independent team, running our events with the help of an incredible team of volunteers and making our events as accessible as we can but as with any small company that does mean that some of our costs can get pretty high. All of our spending for checkpoints, medals, t-shirts etc is based on entry numbers and we do try to keep entries open as late as possible. For clarity for all future events please see the below policy:

• Entries remain open until two weeks before the event, only our shorter distances allow entry on the day.
• We allow deferral and transfer of places up until entries close, however we can only defer once per entry.
• If you contact us about cancellation we will offer you deferral because we would love to have you back!
• If you do have to cancel we understand it may be out of your control and we will be able to offer a full refund for your place up until 6 weeks before the event - after this 6 week cut off we will still process a cancellation but will only be able to offer a 50% refund, again the final cut off for this is when entries close

your deferral can be carried over two years if you are having to defer due to pregnancy or childbirth.

We operate a no-tolerance policy when it come to harassment of any kind. this goes for runners and crew alike.

you will be banned from entering any of our events.

we welcome feedback on our events, please tell us what you think...we will ask you !
