If you wish your child to take part, it is your responsibility to read the details below and take responsibility for their safety.

  1. The run is approximately a 1-mile loop around Matching Village Green.  It is not a timed race.

  2. The run will start at 1pm, promptly after the 10k prize giving.

  3. Runners will be asked to line up in age order – oldest/faster runners at the front 10-15 yrs first; 7-10; Buggies and runners with dogs at the back.

  4. We ask that no child under the age of 8 run by themselves.  If you choose to allow your child to run unaccompanied, as the parent/responsible adult this is your decision.

  5. Runners will be led in age order to the start line.

  6. Our race marshals are in place to ensure the safety of all runners, together with first aiders and medical support at the start and finish of the race.

  7. A race marshal will be following the back runner and would also hope that other runners would help if they saw a child in distress.

  8. Every effort is made to help ensure your child has a good and safe fun run, BUT we cannot guarantee that they will not get lost or hurt themselves and cannot accept any liability for such events.

  9. All Fun Runners can collect their medals from Race HQ.

  10. If your child is running by themselves we suggest you agree a place where you will meet them once they have finished the Fun Run.

  11. All missing / found children will be taken to Race HQ and announcements made every 5 minutes to locate the responsible adult.
