Event rules

Run fairly. Look after each other.

These rules apply to every Muddy Roads race. Event-specific instructions in the race briefing take precedence where necessary.

• Use only the race number assigned to you. Complete an official transfer rather than giving your number to another runner.
• Transfers must be accepted by the replacement runner before the two-day deadline. Any additional entry fee must be paid before the replacement is confirmed; a lower fee does not receive a partial refund.
• Runners must be fit for the event and meet its minimum age on race day.
• Only bone-conducting headphones are permitted.
• Dogs and pushchairs are not permitted on the course.
• Use the bins provided and leave every trail as you found it.
• Follow marshal instructions and return your timing chip promptly.

If Muddy Roads cancels a race

If Muddy Roads cancels your race, we will offer you a transfer to another Muddy Roads event, a transfer of your entry to another runner, or a refund. We would be grateful if you would consider an event transfer, but all three options are available. Contact events@muddyroads.co.uk with your booking reference and preferred option. We will agree the destination event/date and, where applicable, the replacement runner with you before changing your entry.
