HELPFUL RACE DAY INFORMATION
Runners to gather for Race Director briefing 10 minutes before race start times at What3words address: refrain.glare.stopwatch
Recommended footwear & kit: We recommend light trail shoes if the weather is dry however if it is wet prior too or on the day then more robust trail shoes will be better. Please keep an eye on the forecast and dress appropriately for the conditions, bringing a spare set of clothes (and socks!) if needed. Please note, there are no changing facilities available at the site.
Race Numbers: Your race number must be worn on the front of your shirt and not on your legs or back otherwise you may not receive an accurate time. Please make sure that you do not damage the chip as this will also impact your recorded race time.
Please remember to complete your medical information on the reverse of your number. This is a life-saving racing requirement for your own safety.
Your Health & Fitness: Before attempting to race we ask that you make sure you are 100% fit to do so. If you believe that you are not fit enough to take part in the race, please could we ask you to think about the serious effects that could possibly be triggered if you do so and return to racing when you feel fully fit.
Medals & Prizes: There will be recycled medals awarded to all finishers. In addition to the medals, we will also be awarding trophies to the 1st,male and female in each distance. Rathfinny will also be donating a bottle of sparkling wine to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd female and male runners in each distance. Prize giving and presentation will be as soon as winners cross the finish line.
Results: In line with current UKA guidelines, race results will be reported on gun time. Results will be available online as soon as possible after the race. A final set of confirmed results will be emailed to participants.
We are a carbon neutral event...
This is a carbon neutral event and there will be no single use plastics in use on race day. We recently appeared in Damian Hall’s new book ‘We can’t Run Away from This’ and also appeared in Runners World Magazine as one of the best races in the UK to run in April. As a co-founder of The Green Runners it’s important for me to ensure that this race doesn’t impact on the local environment. The Green Runners mission is ‘Running without the footprint’ and has 4 pillars that determine what we do.
1. How we travel?
2. How we kit up?
3. How we eat?
4. How we speak out?
Find out more info about The Green Runners here www.thegreenrunners.com
We will be awarding recycled slate medals to all runners who complete the course and instead of a race t shirt we will be planting trees and shrubs within the estate for every runner that has entered.
We will also be giving each runner a (lite) Trainer Repair Kit to help extend the life of their trainers.
Reminder:
We are a CUP LESS event..........so please ensure you bring your own cup or hydration option.
The course...We will be starting all races at the start/finish line adjacent to the Tasting Rooms (different to previous years). After each distance warm up and race briefing you will be led to the start funnel (used fishing rope!) where you will line up to start. You will be mainly running on hard (muddy if wet) trails. Please take care and also be aware of any protruding tree roots especially through the wooded trail section which may cause a trip hazard. There are a couple of tight switchbacks and a few hills with 2 of them quite tough!
There will be a coned area by the pumping station to highlight a gap in the track.
Spectators...
We are delighted that spectators are now welcome to attend which means that your friends and family can cheer you throughout the course and across the finish line. The best viewpoint is near the Tasting Rooms and The Hut where you will see the runners pass by from an elevated position.
All dogs MUST be kept on a lead.
WOLO will be offering free spaces to any runner that would like to raise funds (£150 minimum) for this great Sussex based cancer charity. If you are interested in supporting the charity please email sam@wolofoundation.org

Wolo Foundation
Helping to improve the quality of life of families in Sussex affected by cancer.
What is Wolo?
Wolo stands for ‘we only live once’, the perfect way to describe their ethos - to make the most of each day. Life is a blessing and we need to enjoy it; doing the things we love, with the ones we love.
Wolo Foundation helps families living in Sussex through their cancer journeys. They support them by offering practical help and support to make their day-to-day lives easier. They work with other charities, local businesses and communities to offer families a wealth of services to support them through diagnosis, treatment and beyond.
Who do Wolo help?
Any family living in Sussex with a child or children under the age of 16 years at the point of diagnosis. They support all family members, whether it be an adult or child with a diagnosis - siblings and partners are supported too. They currently have almost 180 families and upwards of 300 children in their Wolo community.
How do Wolo help?
Every family is unique, and every cancer is different. Wolo’s bespoke approach recognises that people don’t always know what they need. Wolo offers all family members emotional guidance and practical help. From mental health support and complementary therapies, to practical help with cleaning, childcare, will writing or home maintenance issues. Nothing is too much trouble.
Regular family events help to reduce loneliness and isolation and encourage new friendships. Tickets to local attractions and short family breaks help to ensure families can spend quality time together making memories.
Wolo’s work is about practical help, health and well-being and developing long lasting relationships. Ultimately they want to increase life enhancing experiences for the person with cancer and their family, and try to encourage everyone to live their best lives, day-by-day
How can you help?
Wolo are looking for anyone who can offer a service to a family going through cancer treatment - whether it be therapy, childcare, legal help, memory making opportunities, counselling, gardening, decorating, car maintenance or a meal - literally anything! These can all funded through the charity. Wolo are passionate about collaboration with businesses, community groups and other charities to help make a difference to the lives of local families going through cancer.
Wolo hold a variety of fundraising events throughout the year, and are always looking for willing participants who want to help raise funds by doing a skydive, wing walk, ice bath or similar.
Statistics show that 1 in 2 people in the UK born after 1960 will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Life is precious - we need to make the most of it - we only live once - Wolo!

We’re looking forward to The Longbridge 100 Backyard (Winter) on 21 June. Longbridge (Wolo HQ) is the ancient name for the area we now call Litlington. The backyard concept is a ‘yard’ the runners will complete every hour on the hour (in this case a 623ft elevation of ancient Sussex download near our clubhouse). The winner? The runner that completes just one yard more than any other.
Brutal but Beautiful - Welcome to the inaugural running of The Longbridge Backyard Ultra. For those who have not taken part in a backyard ultra before then you’re in for a treat. It is a last-man/woman-standing event where you must begin a new lap on the hour, every hour. The race will only end when there is just one more runner remaining to start a lap. It’s sure to be an exciting and enjoyable event for runners and spectators alike with all the emotions guaranteed. There is a Winter and Summer event.
Whilst we do want to attract runners who can compete for days, we also want to stress that this event is open to everyone, especially if you haven’t taken part in a Backyard before. You will have so much support from myself, the team, and volunteers as well as other runners.
What are the specific rules regarding the Back Yard Ultra?
The course will be at least 4.167 miles long.
The starting corral will stay the same size throughout the event. When the bell rings at the start of the lap on the hour then you must be inside the starting corral. If you are not then you’ll receive a DNF and not be allowed to continue.
Each loop starts precisely 1 hour after the last, and warnings will be given at 3, 2, and 1 minute prior to the start of the lap. All competitors must start at the bell (no late starts). Each loop must be completed within an hour to be counted… including the final lap.
Except for restrooms, competitors may not leave the course until each loop is completed
No non-competitors on the course (including eliminated runners) and no personal aid is allowed during the loop. This includes being passed items or handing a jacket back to your support team, once inside the corral or the next lap has begun. You can only have assistance between finishing one lap and entering the starting corral for the next lap. Once the runner starts the lap they must be fully by themselves. Cheering and support from team members are allowed from the race HQ and corral only.
No artificial aids (including trekking poles).
Slower runners must allow faster ones to pass
If no runner can start one more loop than anyone else, there is no winner.
All runners must wear a running watch to record each loop and their cumulative distance.

Wolo Foundation
Helping to improve the quality of life of families in Sussex affected by cancer.
What is Wolo?
Wolo stands for ‘we only live once’, the perfect way to describe their ethos - to make the most of each day. Life is a blessing and we need to enjoy it; doing the things we love, with the ones we love.
Husband and wife team, Justin and Fler Wright set up Wolo Foundation after a cancer diagnosis of their own. With three young children to support, they were shocked at what little help there was out there for families like theirs. Knowing they didn’t want others to go through it like they did, ignited a little flame inside their hearts - and that’s how the idea began.
Wolo Foundation registered as a charity in 2020 and helps families living in Sussex through their cancer journeys. They support them by offering practical help and support to make their day-to-day lives easier. They work with other charities, local businesses and communities to offer families a wealth of services to support them through diagnosis, treatment and beyond.
Who do Wolo help?
Any family living in Sussex with a child or children under the age of 16 years at the point of diagnosis. They support all family members, whether it be an adult or child with a diagnosis - siblings and partners are supported too. They currently have almost 100 families and upwards of 200 children in their Wolo community.
How do Wolo help?
Every family is unique, and every cancer is different. Wolo’s bespoke approach recognises that people don’t always know what they need. Wolo offers all family members emotional guidance and practical help. From mental health support and complementary therapies, to practical help with cleaning, childcare, will writing or home maintenance issues. Nothing is too much trouble.
Regular family events help to reduce loneliness and isolation and encourage new friendships. Tickets to local attractions and short family breaks help to ensure families can spend quality time together making memories.
Wolo’s work is about practical help, health and well-being and developing long lasting relationships. Ultimately they want to increase life enhancing experiences for the person with cancer and their family, and try to encourage everyone to live their best lives, day-by-day
How can you help?
Wolo are looking for anyone who can offer a service to a family going through cancer treatment - whether it be therapy, childcare, legal help, memory making opportunities, counselling, gardening, decorating, car maintenance or a meal - literally anything! These can all funded through the charity. Wolo are passionate about collaboration with businesses, community groups and other charities to help make a difference to the lives of local families going through cancer.
Wolo hold a variety of fundraising events throughout the year, and are always looking for willing participants who want to help raise funds by doing a skydive, wing walk, ice bath or similar.
Wolo are also seeking 100 businesses/CEO’s to join the exclusive Wolo 100 club. To join, you need to commit to donating £100 per month to Wolo, for a minimum of 12 months. This regular income means Wolo can spend their time directly supporting families in need - the number of families they are supporting has grown by over 1333% in 2.5 years. In return, members will receive priority invitations to events such as the WoloBall (11/3/23), opportunities to network with like-minded individuals and direct access to support should any of your workforce receive a diagnosis.
Statistics show that 1 in 2 people in the UK born after 1960 will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Life is precious - we need to make the most of it - we only live once - Wolo!
Do not underestimate this challenge! It's a great one to see in the New Year!
Remember, you are not alone, we are all in this together - there's a facebook group for us all to chat and motivate each other.
The general rules: you can run/walk as many times as you want in the day to make up the distance/step count. So do it in one, or break it up. Pairs/family/team entries - you can do the distance however you choose - split it or take it in turns, entirely up to you.
Solo runners/walkers - you have 24 hours to complete the distance. We would recommend thinking about your recovery, try and have a big a gap as possible between your runs.
The cost is £31 per entry, which includes one bespoke medal. You can also create your own fundraising page for Wolo if you would like to raise some more funds.
If you need any help or have any questions, please email marcos@wolofoundation.org
The funds you help to raise will help many families in Sussex on their cancer journeys - you can read more about the work Wolo does at www.wolofoundation.org

Wolo Foundation in collaboration with Africa Wild Trails will deliver this international charity adventure Run & Trek. All funds raised will help many families affected by cancer in Sussex.
All participates will complete this challenge for Wolo Foundation, for themselves, for the journey and to contribute to nature.
Please note this is not a race.
The Wolo 100 is a multi-day Run & Trek covering 100 miles over 6 days making use of a network of game paths within thousands of hectares of South African bush in the Province of KwaZulu Natal. Located on the eastern seaboard/Indian Ocean.
This 10 multi-day journey through the African bush, The Tugela River and rural Zulu communities will give you the opportunity to run or trek 100 miles through areas where there is plenty of wildlife, wonderful scenery and friendly people.

Duration: 4 hours
Location: Peelings Manor Barns, Hankham Road, Hankham Pevensey East Sussex BN24 5AP
Join us for ice baths and breath work at the beautiful peeling Manor Barns, East Sussex with a qualified Wim Hof Instructor.
Wolo Foundation knows how important nature is to our mental and physical health, especially when life becomes challenging. We need to learn how to calm the mind and improve our wellbeing. We invite you to join us at Peelings Manor Barns, to experience for yourself the power of disconnecting from the outside world and re-connecting with nature.
We have great pleasure in welcoming Will Van Zyl to Wolo on 17th July. Will is one of the UKs leading and highly rated Wim Hof Method instructors, trained by the man himself.
Will is quoted in saying:
"We have an incredible Innate Intelligence within us that governs every action and reaction of our bodies and minds.
Every living thing - every part of Life - has this.
Learning to connect with it, feel it and harness it will help us become strong again in Mind, Heart and Body.
With it we can truly Open Up to Life."
We will be led by Will though the 3 pillars of the Wim Hof Method: Breathing Technique, Cold Exposure & Commitment. Find out how you can utilize oxygen and cold exposure to optimize body & mind and learn about the underlying physiology. He will then lead us through the breath work session and an (optional) ice bath. At the end there is ample room for reflection, and the Instructor is there to answer questions throughout the workshop.
Whether you are looking to improve mental or physical performance, relieve symptoms related to an illness, or are just curious to find out what the Wim Hof Method is all about— a WHM workshop offers something for everyone.
Who is this workshop for?
This workshop is suitable for everyone but does require a basic level of health. Out of precaution, we advise against participation during pregnancy, or if you are epileptic. People with cardiovascular issues, or any other serious health conditions should always consult a medical professional before starting the Wim Hof Method.
There will be hot drinks and snacks available throughout the session.
Approximate timings:

1430: Introduction to the session.

Got your own place? Join #TeamWolo and enjoy all the perks of running for us! Just raise as much money as you can.
Over 12,000 runners take part in the marathon each April, enjoying a course that starts in Preston Park at 9.45am, snakes its way through the city centre, along the glorious seafront and finishes at the iconic Madeira Drive in front of thousands of cheering spectators.
The course bests for the men and women are well under 2hrs10min and 2:29, making it the second-fastest marathon in the UK. It is also the second-largest marathon in the UK and eighth-largest in Europe.
Since the first Brighton Marathon in 2010, the Brighton Marathon has grown dramatically to become the Brighton Marathon Weekend attracting larger numbers of runners and spectators each year to the city.
In 2014, the super-fast BM10k was added to the weekend schedule and immediately stamped its importance on the rankings with the second-fastest time in the country that year.
The race starts from the same start as the Brighton Marathon in Preston Park, just 45 minutes beforehand at 9.00am. The course is fast and flat, taking participants through the city centre and finishing at the same finish as the marathon, on Madeira Drive.
Each year we see many groups and families take part in the BM10k and the marathon, allowing 10k participants to start in the same park and then cheer their marathon runners on after they have finished.
