Hello Myddle Muddlers!

It’s nearly here! Please take the time to read the pre-race brief…

MYDDLE MUDDLE RACE BRIEF! 

📅 When: Sunday 6th April 2025 at 10.30am
📍 Where: Myddle Primary School, SY4 3RP
📏 Distances: 10K, 5K and 1 mile fun run.

🗺️ Where are we? 

The race will begin and end at Myddle Primary School playing fields SY4 3RP. Access is by foot through the staff car park around the side of the school. Head to the school hall for registration for the 5k and 10k, in the school field for the 1 Mile Fun Run.

⏰ What time can I arrive? 

Registration desks open at 09.15am in the school hall and on the school field, registration will close at 10am sharp to allow the timing team to prepare the system for the 5k and 10k race.

If you need to sign up on the day, please arrive in plenty of time as there are limited places left on the 5k and 10k races. You can pay by card or cash. If paying by cash it would be very helpful if you could bring the correct cash / change (£20 for the 10K, £15 for the 5K, and £5 for the 1 mile fun run).

🚗 Where shall I park? 

As a small rural village, parking is quite tight in the village so wherever you park, please park respectfully. We do, however, have permission to use the car parks at the following locations:

  • Shingler Group Hillcrest Works, Myddle SY4 3SE (a short walk)
  • The Red Lion Myddle, SY4 3RP (opposite the school) NB: Please note cars must be removed by 12pm unless you are visiting the pub itself when it opens
  • Myddle Village Hall SY4 3RP (opposite the school)

  • Castle Farm Field (next to the church)

Please DO NOT park in the staff car park at the school as this is needed for emergency access.

We will have car parking volunteers on hand to assist.

🎒 Is there a bag drop? 

No. If you leave your belongings on site, you do so at your own risk. We do not accept liability for theft or damage.

🤸‍♀️ Will there be a warm-up? 

Yes! Endorph Fitness will be leading a warm-up from 10.15am.

⌚ What time does the race start? 

The 5k and 10k races set off together at 10.30am, runners with dogs will set off slightly later at 10:35am. The 1 Mile Fun Run will set off at approximately 10.45am once the 10k runners have passed the 1k point and the Marshalls have repositioned.

Please note: This will be the first year using a timing system, we may experience a slight delay to the start time if we experience issues.

🐕 Dogs 

If you are planning to attend the event either as a spectator or runner with a dog, we ask that you respect the following rules:

  • Please ensure you have the means to pick up after the dog
  • Dogs are not allowed in the school hall where registration is taking place, so please make arrangements so you’re able to enter the hall without your dog.
  • Dogs displaying antisocial or dangerous behaviour will be asked to leave the event by a member of the race team.
  • Because we are not a specific canicross event there are several narrow patches, styles and gates on the course. You should be able to easily manoeuvre over and through these points without holding up other runners participating in the race.

🍰 Food & Refreshments 

Our famous cake sale is returning where you can pick up delicious treats for a small donation. We will also have a food van on site from Pedro’s Kitchen offering a range of hot food for you to fuel up before and after the race!

🚽 Are there any toilets on site? 

Yes, but be warned they are very small child-sized toilets!

🤕 Is there First Aid on site? 

Yes. We have a First Aid Tent for minor injuries which is also the location of our ‘Lost Children’.

📷 Is there an official photographer?  

We are pleased to say we do have an official photographer this year, however, feel free to share your photographs on the Myddle Muddlers Facebook Group, or hashtag #myddlemuddle on Facebook and Instagram.

Any photos or videos taken may be used and shared on social media, our website, and in future promotion and news articles. By entering the event, you consent to being photographed and authorise the use of your image.

🏅 What time is the Prize presentation?  

1st, 2nd & 3rd trophies for all races will be presented at approx 11.50am by Hannah & Anna.

See you on the 6th!
