Those under 16 (actual age) are only permitted to run Course 7. Unfortunately the nature of the event means that it has not been possible to plan a course for young juniors (M/W12-). Juniors over the age of 12 may run course 7 unaccompanied. There is also a special class for accompanied juniors (of any age). Course 7 will feature a mass start for all accompanied and unaccompanied juniors. The group will leave the Brighthelm Centre together at 17.30 for a short walk to a remote start south of Assembly. The Course 7 Finish will be located at the remote start. The is a single road crossing (with a pedestrian crossing) between the start/finish and Assembly.
