Contact us immediately.
Ill or injured?
You should not run if ill or injured for your own safety. You cannot give your number to someone else in your place. This is for insurance reasons.
Refunds
Like all events, entry fees are used to hire land, equipment etc. Therefore, we do not issue refunds after entry.
How fit do you need to be?
GRIM Duathlon is as hard as you want to make it. It might be serious for those up front but for many, it'll be a challenge and a lot of fun. Make sure you've done some training and can run at least 5 miles without stopping. Please ensure you've done some off-road mountain biking.
What time should I arrive at the venue?
The race starts at 10:30am. You should get there at 9am. This will leave enough time to get parked up and allows you enough time to use the loos.
Parking
There is plenty of parking available on-site. However, there is only 1 entry / exit in and out of the main car parking facility. Getting in to the venue and leaving the venue could be a little slow. We suggest chilling out grab or bring some food with you and something hot to drink.
How many in a team?
Only teams of THREE are accepted in one of either three categories Women Only, Men Only or Mixed (2 guys & 1 girl or 2 girls & 1 guy up to you).
Do we compete together?
Yes, you must start and finish together. This is a great team event so stay together and help each other out
Team Numbers
These are sent to the Team Captain for distribution.
Team names
Can be anything serious or funny. Please do not send in anything too obscene and remember, Grim Reaper' is too obvious!
Results
Are recorded and posted on the site the next day. Prizes are awarded on the day.
