pie_and_a_pint Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 Signed up for the 5K. Was gutted last time that I had to pull out as I'd just had dental surgery and running would have dislodged my tooth, so will have to enjoy it twice as much this time round. Mr PaaP is planning to sign up for the 10K I think, so I'll get a head start on the cake while I'm waiting for him to finish... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bombfrog Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 On the website https://festivalrun.fullonsport.com/event/the-festival-run-2019/profile it says.... "Keep an eye on www.piltonvillage.co.uk/festival-run" Should have a .html at the end of it as it currently goes to a "Not Found" page. I'd definitely be up for doing the run if I lived nearer.

Keithy Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 Doesn't this usually clash with ticket day? In that, it's done after tickets are sold but it's usually on the same Sunday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not usually - It clashed with ticket day for the (I think) 2017 festival because t-day got moved back to the 2nd Sunday in October that year. Assuming nothing weird happens, we should be getting our tickets on the 1st Thursday + Sunday of the month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Children can enter the 2km. Under 8 years must be accompanied by an named adult. Note please complete an entry in the name of the child only. ( accompanying adult is free of charge. No entry form needed). For very small children being carried or pushed please complete an entry form in the name of the accompanying adult only. 5km they must be 13 years and over. 10km must be 15 years or over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are 2 weeks later than usual to avoid the clash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The eldest would whizz round 2km in no time. Happy to accompany the two younger ones, but would they need an adult each or can I be responsible for both?

If the adult stays with the children they are responsible for then yes you can be the adult for both children. No problem. I hope you have fun. We look forward to seeing you and everyone there on the day having fun on the farm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
