Shortcut / Cut-off points

Both The Grizzly & Cub are RUNNING RACES.

You will be required to run the majority of the route and maintain an average of 19 minute/mile or you will not make the Shortcut & cut-off points (see table below). These will be strictly enforced by dedicated marshals on both routes, the purpose of which is:

  1. To minimise the time marshals are kept out on the course, sometimes in inclement weather, & therefore ensuring the good will of our marshals is maintained without which we could not hold this iconic event safely for you the runner.
  2. To ensure runners are not still out on the course after 5pm when the public roads must be reopened in line with our traffic regulation orders.
  3. To protect the safety of runners and other footpath users by ensuring congestion on the narrow parts of the course is kept to a minimum.

Cut off times will be strictly enforced by dedicated marshals & anyone failing to follow any race officials instructions to cut-off or withdraw from the race will have their race number taken from them, will no longer be insured and will effectively be trespassing on private land.
