We can’t guarantee that there will be t-shirts available at the end so we recommend pre-ordering a t-shirt, in the size you require, when you register.

Question 7

Are the routes easy to follow?

Accepted Answer

We try to make our routes as easy as possible and are available on our website before the event as well as explained during the race briefing on the day so please make sure you listen. Our routes are well marked with signs on the day and we have marshals at various points on the route however there may be various distances on the day so don’t follow the runner in front of you. The colour of the arrows to follow for each event is sent to all participants in the Event Information email a few days before the event along with links to the routes with GPX files which can be downloaded. The navigation of the course is the responsibility of the participant.

Question 8

Can I see the route before race day?

Accepted Answer

All running and multisport routes are published on the event pages as soon as they are confirmed. Please note that all routes are subject to change. Cycling routes are available to view when you sign up to the event.

Question 9

How do I know what colour sign to follow?

Accepted Answer

We will advise which colour signs to follow in the race information email prior to the event, however this is subject to change depending on the route when we mark the course. You will be told which colour to follow in your race briefing on the day so please pay attention.

Question 10

Can I transfer my number or defer to next year?

Accepted Answer

We regret that all entry fees are non-refundable but credit may be transferred towards a future event. This will only be possible 14 days before the event for trail runs and 1 month prior to duathlons, triathlons and ultra’s. There is a £5 administration charge to change events.

Question 11

What if the event needs to be cancelled due to the weather?

Accepted Answer

In the unlikely event of a cancellation, an alternative date will be sought and the event will take place on that date. If you are unable to make that date your entry can be transferred to another Wild Deer Event.

Question 12

What trainers should I wear?

Accepted Answer

We recommend trail shoes for all trail runs and road shoes for all road races however it’s personal preference. Most of our events are on mixed trails and the conditions and terrain depends on the weather.

Question 13

What time does the race start?

Accepted Answer

Each event is different and the start time can be found on the event page. In cases where there are multiple distances, we may stagger the start and this will be included in the race information email sent prior to the event.

Please note that the times on the website are subject to change and will be confirmed in the Event Information emails.

Question 14

What if I don’t meet the cut off times?

Accepted Answer

Not many of our events have cut off times however if they do, it will be on the individual event page.

If you don’t reach the cut off time, you may be asked to step down from the race. The cut off times are set with the participants safety in mind as well as the volunteer marshals who stand on the course for a long period of time to allow the event to go ahead. We may have to withdraw some marshals from the course in some instances, for example if it gets too dark, for their safety.

Question 15

Can I enter on the day?

Accepted Answer

For run only events, there may be the opportunity to sign up on the day, however we have to order medals and BIB Numbers in advance so we can’t guarantee that there will be spaces. We recommend signing up before registration closes a few days before the event.

Question 16

Accepted Answer

We can allow cani-cross in most of our trail runs but we are restricted at some venues so please refer to the individual event pages and contact us before registering if you are unsure.

Question 17

Accepted Answer

Water and feed stations are different for every event so please see our individual event pages.

Question 18

Is there parking at the events?

Accepted Answer

There is parking available at our events and where possible we try to have free parking for participants however this is dependent on the venue itself and the terrain of car park in very wet conditions.
