No I think as long as they have someone keeping an eye on them all (eg stay together) this would be ok. I'll check with the other committee members just to be sure - I'll get back to you.

deebeedoobee Posted March 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 @Wondermum As long as your children are in sight of you it's ok to have more than one child per adult. But if one is going to tear ahead it might be an idea to have a second adult. Ultimately children are the parents responsibililty. Hope that makes sense.

Yes that makes perfect sense. I can chat to my eldest to make sure he doesn't run off out if sight. Not sure how far the youngest 2 can run but maybe I can persuade Wonderdad to wait with them at the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wondermum Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 I've just looked at the route and realised the 2k doesn't include the stone circle. Would we be able to head up there afterwards do you think? Never been inside it during the festival and something we would all love to do; just sit within the stones and take in everything from there.

deebeedoobee Posted March 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 Yes the farm is open to walk on the paths. Can't access the stones at the moment as there are sheep there but they won't be come October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneeye Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 (edited) Hi deebeedoobee, A quick question ref. race day: Are spectators allowed to bring dogs (on leads) on site? My thoughts are probably not, being a farm etc... but thought I'd ask. Intend to give the 10K a go I reckon, though it may only be a gentle plod around with my daughter. Many thanks for all the useful info: can't wait Edited March 20, 2016 by oneeye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The race HQ is on a playing field, and the run and parking are on a working farm, dogs are not allowed at all, even in the car parks.Hope you understand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pie_and_a_pint Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Thanks for the heads up. Having finally got the OK to run on the previously-smashed ankle, I'll be entering the 5k this year (and I fully expect to come last :D) Mr P&P will be entering too - he's trying to decide whether to do the 5k or 10k but you'll have our entries online this weekend.
