"Please could teams get their entries in as soon as possible so we have time to organise your post-race refreshments and other logistics related to numbers of teams we are expecting. Thank you!
Also, please note that owing to over-running work on the repair/replacement of Shaky Bridge (Grid Ref 774243), there will be no bridge in place on race-day for leg 1 and leg 4 runners. Instead, we will be routing runners approx 30m upstream to a point where the river is shallower (usually, it's ankle/calf deep but we will be checking to ensure it hasn't changed dramatically by race-day). The stones underfoot are a bit slippery, so care will need to be taken and you will, of course, get wet feet! Marshals will be on hand to guide runners across the river at that point. On the other side, there's a rough path back to where the bridge was and a wee scramble up the bank to regain the normal route. The crossing is just a bit wider than the burn crossing we already have on Leg 4 (Grid ref 768257) but similar depth so Leg 4 runners will already have wet feet anyway!
