IF you are coming to the race venue to check in first, then our race stores area is the place you need to go to - this is the marquee in the campervan field, ‘behind’ the rugby clubhouse. what3words location

Wenham Edge water station is down a private drive, through the electric gates that will open when you drive up to them.

The entrance is next to the old railway embankment, with the house name on a big brick edged structure / bin store. You go up the private drive and through rustic electric gates - drive up to them and they will open for you.

We set the water station up at the end of the drive in the turning area / fork as the runners come out of the field on the right side. (race route blue line on map)

  • Aim to arrive at CP to set up by 11.15 am latest please 

  • The CP supplies & equipment should arrive around then if coming separately

  • In the CP supplies is our event contacts sheet - if you need re-supply, have queries or emergencies the phone numbers you need are on there.

  • 1st runner might be there from 11.30 am onwards - VERY earliest - unlikely to be that early!

  • If you have a mini portable speaker and i-pod / phone you can play any music through then feel free to bring it for the checkpoint - but keep it quiet to not disturb residents!

  • RETIRING RUNNERS

    • Collect their timing dibber from them and keep safe as we need them back!

    • Call through via contacts sheet to organise pick up for them if they ned it

    • TEXT Gordon with their race number telling him they’ve dropped out - IMPORTANT - we need to know their whereabouts / status in the event

  • This is the last aid point in the race - the last runners are usually around 11.30 pm! The majority have come through by 6pm.

  • You can use the timing link on the results page to see how many more runners are left to come to the CP or by calling the race timing phone number on our contacts sheet

The race uses the PURPLE ‘Tail’ permanent way-markers for the Trail. Runners come along the edge of the field to the water station and then go out along the tarmac driveway to the road.

Plus, don’t forget - we like to give our helpers FREE ENTRY to next years race! If you would like to run in next years Serpent Trail then email Tom ( tom@freedom-racing.co.uk ) and we can get you added to a race as thanks for your help in coming to be part of the event and encouraging and looking after all the runners so well! :-)
