Event Update – Postponed to Saturday, February 8th, 2025

After much consideration, we have made the difficult decision to postpone Saturday’s event.

As you know, we’re always eager to deliver a fantastic day out on the trails. The marquee is already up, and the team has been working hard onsite for the past 48 hours! However, the latest forecast shows a strong likelihood of significant snowfall throughout Saturday morning. This will add to the snow already on the ground, which is expected to thaw and refreeze on Friday night.

Even if running conditions are technically passable, significant snow poses challenges for keeping signage and markers visible, which could compromise navigation. After weighing up all the factors, we’ve concluded that respecting the landscape is the right course of action in this instance.

We know some of you might be disappointed, especially those ready to brave any weather. Others may be relieved that we’re erring on the side of caution, especially if you are worried about wider travel disruption on the roads. Whatever your perspective, we appreciate your understanding and hope you’ll join us on the new date:

Saturday, February 8th, 2025

What happens next:

If you can make the new date, you don’t need to do anything. Your place will automatically roll over in one week’s time.

If you can’t make it, you can log into your Endurancelife account starting tomorrow at midday to explore other options, including transferring to another event at no charge. Please note that, if someone else booked your entry, it is only they who can make changes to it. (The system won’t be ready before midday tomorrow, so please wait until then!)

The start list is currently 100% sold out, so we encourage you to hold onto your spot for February. We’d love to see you on the start line then!

For those of you already in the area:

We are going to leave the half marathon route marked through the weekend, giving you the opportunity to explore the course on your own schedule. The route markers will be removed on Monday, so feel free to get out and enjoy the trails before then!

Thank you for your patience and understanding. While hindsight might prove otherwise, we’re confident this decision prioritises everyone’s safety and enjoyment. We can’t wait to welcome you in February for an unforgettable event!

With best wishes, The Endurancelife team.

Weather Update

We’re keeping a close eye on the weather forecast, as the current outlook suggests cold temperatures and snow towards the end of next week. However, forecasts often change, and it’s not uncommon for conditions to shift or improve closer to the day. For now, it’s too early to make any definitive decisions about whether the event will proceed or not or even whether the contingency routes are required.

We understand you may have questions about the event, but to ensure consistent communication, all updates will be posted here. Rest assured, we’ll also notify you directly via email or SMS if there are any significant updates.

Our current advice is as follows:

Please assume the event will go ahead as planned unless we notify you otherwise. Our focus is always to try to make the event happen.

If a cancellation or change becomes necessary, this decision may be made closer to the event or even on the day itself. While we would always aim to avoid last-minute changes, this is a possibility you should be aware of.

If you’re traveling from afar and the possibility of the event being cancelled would be a major inconvenience for you, it may be better to reconsider your travel plans to avoid this risk. While we’d love for you to join us, we understand the importance of safeguarding your time. This decision is entirely up to you and should be based on your individual circumstances.

Thank you for your understanding, patience, and goodwill. Please continue to refer back to this tab for the latest updates.

Thank you for checking-in for this event! Participant numbers were posted out to all Checked-in participants on Wednesday. Please be patient for your number to arrive.

What if my paper number doesn't arrive? You can log in to your online account and request a replacement number from 12 midday until 8pm on Friday (the 22nd of November, i.e. the day before the event). To do this, log in, select the event entry under "My Events" and look for the "Number lost or never received?" link. From here you can request a replacement number. It is only possible to do this the day before the event in order to give the postal system maximum time to deliver your original number.

Special notice for participants who have participated in a previous Endurancelife event:

We’re thrilled to welcome you back for another season of unforgettable trail running! As we gear up for 2024-25, we’ve made a small but important change that we wanted to make clear to you.

This season, we’ve decided to streamline the events by removing complimentary t-shirts from most events - including this one. This change allows us to keep event entry prices affordable—something we feel is important. To give you an idea, since 2018, the entry fee for a 10K has only increased by £2, despite significant rising costs. Thanks to improved efficiencies, we’ve been able to keep this increase minimal, ensuring you continue to get good value.

But don’t worry—you will still have the opportunity to grab an Endurancelife t-shirt (or other awesome event merchandise) at a heavily discounted price during Check-in. We hope you’ll take advantage of this great offer and wear your Endurancelife gear with pride!
