Registration
It is possible to register in-person on the day as you can just ‘show up’ and run. However, for our planning, it would be really helpful if you could register in advance. Please do so using this link.
While the event is free, we suggest a £2 donation to charity
Facilities
Free parking and toilet facilities are available on the day and the possibility to buy some delicious refreshments. Please bring some cash as card payments don’t always work in the area due to weak or no phone signal
Supervision
Please be aware that children’s supervision will strictly be their guardians’ responsibility at all times. Where appropriate, you may want to encourage your little ones to run independently by following our friendly ‘trainer’. Hugs and high-fives will be waiting for them at the finish line. If you are planning to run in the grow-ups races, it is your responsibility to ensure that your child is looked after while you do so.
Clothing
Please wear appropriate clothing and shoes for running on grass. No spikes are allowed. You are very welcome to come in your schools’ PE kit as proud ambassadors if you would like.
Please remove any jewelry that could get caught.
What to bring
Please bring your own pre-filled water bottles to ensure you stay hydrated, and some cash should you wish to buy any food or donate to our charitable cause.
Card payments may be available on the day
Photography
Please let our friendly team at the Registration Desk know on the day if you don’t give permission for your (and/or your children’s photo) to be taken or shown in the local press, or on the Rupert House School’s website
Dogs
While dogs are allowed on the estate if kept on leads at all times, they are not allowed at Tumblestone Hollow.
To minimise distraction from the race, we would encourage you to please leave your dog at home where possible.
Choosing a race
At the Great School Run, we believe in providing an inclusive, respectful and welcoming environment for all participants. Whether you identify as male, female or prefer not to associate with a specific gender, you are welcome to participate in the race you feel is the best fit for you.
It really isn’t about winning
But… the school or nursery with most runners has a chance to win a prize. Don’t worry, this competition isn’t just about big schools, we’re looking at the percentage of race entrants relative to the size of the school or nursery. So whether you’re a small, medium or large school, you still have a chance of winning. Teachers, parents or pupils, come and join the fun and help represent your school.
