THE 16th WYRE FOREST MULTI-TERRAIN 8
FEBRUARY 12th 2012 @ 11.00 am
It's back for the 16th year - our approximate 8 mile multi-terrain race around the paths and trails of the beautiful Wyre Forest in Worcestershire. Sadly, Runaround Sports are no longer sponsoring this event, so for the first time since race number 2 back in the nineties, we have no race sponsor. As always, each finisher will receive a quality medal, and we continue to offer one of the best prize lists at any event of this type - every single five-year category winner will receive a prize and a trophy, and we also recognise the first ten finishers, and the first ten female finishers, as well as the first team and first female team to finish.
Sadly, after 15 years we are no longer able to offer free event parking, due to management changes at the Duke William pub since last year's race. Parking will therefore be at the Wyre Forest Visitor Centre pay-and-display area, so please car share where possible, and bring £3 worth of change for the ticket machines. We do apologise for this, but there is nothing we can do other than to advise you in advance. Please note that your entry fee includes a £1 per entrant levy that has been introduced this year by the Wyre Forest management.
