The course is 550m long with a descent of 50m. It should be noted that this is not indicative of the gradient of parts of the course. In places it is much steeper and participants can expect to reach 30-40mph. Soap boxes will be given the opportunity of at least three runs and will set off singly at intervals, electronically timed.  This year all timed runs count towards your best two (see rules).

 

If you have not attended one of our events we strongly recommend that you view the footage on You Tube (see to left). These will give you a good idea of the track, conditions, competitors, and some pointers as to what works and what doesn’t!
