During the Race

Cup-Free Event

We’re a cup-less race — to reduce waste, please bring your own reusable bottle or cup. Feed stations every 3 miles provide water and snacks.

Headphones Policy

For your safety, over-ear headphones are banned. Bone-conduction or “one in, one out” earphones are permitted so runners can hear marshals and other participants.

Route Navigation

Downloadable GPX files are available for all distances. While our courses are clearly marked and marshalled, not every junction will have a marshal. Please familiarise yourself with the route before race day.

Withdrawals & Distance Changes

If you need to withdraw mid-race, please notify the nearest marshal. In some cases, you may be able to change to a shorter distance on the day — just speak to the Race Director or timing team.

Transfers & Deferrals

You can easily self-manage transfers and deferrals through our website. Please avoid making changes on the day as this can delay registration.

Stay Connected

We no longer send a separate race brief — everything you need to know is right here.
However, we recommend visiting our FAQ section and joining the Grim Up North Chat Facebook Group for updates, community support, and helpful race-day tips.
