• Race Incident FormIn the event of an incident occurring during a race, for example an accident, damage to property, an injury or indeed anything which concerns you, please report this to the Race Organiser or other race official either on the day or as soon as practicable afterwards. The rule of thumb is, the more serious the incident, the more promptly it should be reported. In certain circumstances such incidents may need to be reported to the police, another emergency service or relevant authority.

So, what kit should you bring???

*For the Preseli Beast(PB) and UltrabeasT(UB), then you need to carry full waterproof top and bottoms, a map covering the route, compass, whistle, water container, gloves, and a hat/buff. Depending on weather forecast on race day, then i may decide to lower some of this to not having to carry waterproof bottoms.

For the Beast Bach runners, then you need to carry all the above also apart from ‘having’ to carry a map and compass, but depending on weather conditions, I may reduce having to carry full waterproofs to having to carry a windproof top instead.

Rule of thought is to bring everything with you in the car on the day, and see what I decide/announce on a notice board on the day depending on weather forecast/conditions.
