We’ll keep you posted on the website as to likely number of places available for on the day registration. The Late Entries Desk in at the Cricket Pavilion in Jubilee Park (it is well signed). You will pay a late entry fee for doing it this way.

Frequently asked questions:

Q: If I turn-up on the day will I be definitely able to run?
A: No, we will have some places available for those who have not pre-registered, but we cannot guarantee you a place. Best to be on the safe side and pre-register (see above for how to do this).

Q: How do I enter the 3 Mile Fun Run?
A: Simply register on the day. We don’t take registrations in advance for the 3 Mile Fun Run.

Q: Are there age limits for entering?
A: 3 Mile Fun Run: no – all welcome. 10K Road Race: yes – 15 years and over.

Q: If I’m a slow runner am I going to be right at the back and embarrassed?
A: No, not at all. We have a very wide range of competitors of all ages and speeds. A good many will be first time 10K event runners.

Q: How do you tell us the results?
A: These are posted on the BBC Radio Lincolnshire website (they should be there from the Tuesday following Race Day) and also published in the Lincolnshire Echo (day is TBC probably the Monday– we’ll let you know on Race Day).

Q: If I do need to ask anything else who do I contact?
A: Contact the Event Organiser: Graham Keegan. E-mail address: keegan@telinco.com

Q: How can I find out what the course is?
A: See the map of the course (pdf file) on the site.

Download Adobe Reader - free PDF softwareDownload free PDF reader software

Q: How do I get informed about the details of the event?
A: When you register we’ll send you instructions, chip along with your number. You will get this pack in mid May.

Q: How do the chips work?
A: The chip we will send you along with you number and instructions. You attach it to your shoe. By running across the start mat and the finish mat the computer registers the chip and thereby records your time. In fact, you’ll get two times: Gun Time – timed from when the gun starts the race to when you cross the finish line; and, Personal Time – timed from when you cross the start line and then cross the finish line. You must hand in the chip after the event. If you lose your chip or fail to bring it on Race Day your time will not be recorded (we cannot replace chips).

Q: What do you spend my entry fee on?
A: Your fee is spent on the costs of organising the event and then any profits go to local good causes (if you would like details of these local good causes we’ll gladly give you details). All the people involved in organising the event are volunteers and give their time free.

Q: What happens if I forgot to put a stamped addressed envelope in with my application?
A: We will hold your chip here for you to collect on the day at the Late Entries desk.

Q: I haven’t received my instructions but I can see my name on the list with the comment “Report to Late Entries” – why is this?
A: For a number of reasons..

  • You didn’t send us a SAE
  • The SAE you sent didn’t have the correct stamp or no stamp at all
  • Your entry form wasn’t completed properly
  • We had to pay a revenue protection fee to the Post Office because you hadn’t used the correct stamp; and, we need that paying please.

Message from the Event Chairman
 

Comment from the Chairman

We had a very successful day yesterday with a record number of entrants – 1200, then a further 250 or so in the Fun Run. So, Woodhall has now tripled it’s number of competitors over the last few years – we must be doing something right!

A big thank you to all the helpers out there yesterday morning – some 90 of you all told – without your support we couldn’t stage the event.

Can I thank members of the 10K Committee who give their time to the event: Chris Hibberd, Graham MacRury, Gary Burgess, Trevor Hiatt, Bob Pinning and Simon Elmer.

The positive feedback we are getting is very good news – the fact that our event is run just by volunteers as opposed to others which are managed by city councils; and, that we score well against such events is a big compliment to Woodhall.

All the money we make we give to local good causes and we know they make that money go a long way.

If you represent a local good cause and would like to be considered for a donation please do contact us – be prepared to be asked to man a water station!

A big thank you to everyone once again.
