Both the long and short courses start and finish outside Wheelbase in Staveley Mill Yard.  Starts are grouped at 5 minute intervals between 11.30 and 13.30; start times will be allocated on entry.

Entries are available for both the long and short course for the following categories:

• Solo (male or female)
• Pair (male, female or mixed)
• Team (groups of 3 or 4)
• Family

All riders will be sent a route map with their entry confirmation, and the courses are well signed with marshalls at regular intervals.  There are a number of checkpoints around the course where riders must give their event numbers and light refreshments will be available.  All riders get an end of race meal courtesy of Wilf’s café.

Presentations take place in the Hawkshead Brewery beer hall in Staveley Mill Yard from 19.30, followed by a post-race bash with a live band.
