Hindersitched Up! 2024
The challenge is set this year for September 21st!
The run consists of a climb of around 500ft over the course of a mile or so. The format and organisation is expected to be the same or similar to the 2023 event so if you’re up for the challenge, want to try to improve on a previous time or simply like the idea of getting together with a nice bunch of like-minded folk, why not have a go?
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO TO TAKE PART is turn up at the Family Tree between 4:45pm and 5:30pm to register and get a timed start slot between 5pm and 6pm. You’ll need to sign a waiver (standard) and provide name, address and contact number. You’ll then be provided with a start number, a wrist band and a time slot to “go for the hill”. At the start line there will be a brief safety briefing before your timed start. At the end of the course don’t forget to let the Marshalls take your start number and time. For logistical reasons, runners set off at 1 minute intervals, or in small groups if a team. Under 13s will need to set off with an adult for safety reasons.
The course is Marshalled so no need to worry about taking a wrong turn!
PARKING is available nearby at either the “Ebeniste”, canal side or railway station car parks or across the A6 bridge over the river Derwent. Also at the end of the course near the Cliff Inn, DE4 5DP, but in that case participants would then need to make their way down to the start point at the Family Tree, so give yourself plenty of time.
ENTRY is £3 adults, £2 juniors and prizes are available for Male and Female in the Veterans (50+), Seniors (15 – 49) and Juniors (14 & under).
