What is the Rugby Challenge, where is it and when is it?
The Rugby Challenge is at St. Andrews Rugby Club, Ashlawn Road, Rugby CV22 5QQ on Wednesday 6th June 2018 at 09:00.How far is the race?
You decide! The 3.5-mile out and back lap along the Great Central Way means your race can run just over 5k or, given the relatively flat nature of the course, potentially 49.5 miles! You decide how many laps you are going to do on the day within the 6-hour time limit. If you're looking to cover a marathon distance you'll need to complete 8 laps (28 miles) and a half marathon will be 4 laps (14 miles).Cost
Early Bird fee (before 05/12/17) - £16 (£18 unaffiliated)Standard fee (06/12/17 - 05/05/18) - £18 (£20 unaffiliated)
Late Fee - (06/05/18 - 04/06/18) £22 (£24 unaffiliated)
No entries on the day
There is an entry limit. Once the event gets down to the last places we'll endeavor to make people aware through social media and emails (join the mailing list!). Once the event is full a waiting list will be created. Contact info@bigbearevents.net for information on this.
There is a public car park at St Andrews Rugby club that is free to park in. It is used by locals (dog walking usually) and as an overflow car park for the crematorium but there should be ample space before 9am. If the car park is full you must not park in the cremaorium car park. Please venture onto Percival Road or other local streets to park.
Course map/ course description
The course route can be found here. You can see the conditions of the course from the photos below. In summary, it's flat for 3.5 miles with a little killer of the zig zags at the end of each lap! At least it means you get to go down them at the start of each lap though... Underfoot is mainly a new (2017) £50 000 crushed stone path. There is a small section of old track that can become muddy and waterlogged if it has rained heavily in the lead up to the event. It is a very runnable course, although if you run for 6 hours we'll be very impressed if you run up the zig zags on your last lap!Is there a GPX file?
Yes. Here it is - GPX fileWhere is it?
