Additional information and FAQ`s

One of the biggest worries and concerns people have about coming on these weekends is that they may not be fast enough or hold everyone up.  Here is a quote from Steve on our last course

“Please don’t let your perception of pace hold you back from joining. On last weekend, almost everyone said they weren’t sure if they could keep up, and nearly didn’t come, and that would have been such a shame. I can vouch that group is inclusive of everyone’s abilities, and you will have a great time, lots of fun, learn something new and meet many other like minded people.”

The youth hostel provides bedding, though please bring your own towel.

Where possible rooms will be allocated by sex, please let us know if you have any individual requirements.

Beds are bunk beds but we will endeavour to spread people through all available rooms and space, we will be out and about most of the weekend, so you will probably sleep like a baby where ever you fall.

The kitchen at the Youth hostel and Village hall, have everything you should need and are well set up, we recommend bringing plenty of snacks as well.

Pickering is the closest town about 10 mins away, it has plenty of takeaways and other eating out choices.

We recommend bringing grippy footwear for the runs, with another pair of indoor trainers for the village hall. We will send out a recommended kit list nearer the event.
