Sidebar updated with latest time and date and the race names stolen wholesale from Flatlander. Glenners can add them to the Race Finder or delegate that task in a project manager stylee.

How does this work then? Do you have to run all the races? What if a mile takes 2 hours? Do you have to pre-register or just turn up?* Do back markers get picked off by snipers? Are football mascot style animal costumes compulsory? Is there a bar? Just hypothetical questions. *by just turn up, what I really mean is make excuses to get out of a previously confirmed golf day, miss the monthly club parkrun tour, drive for 2 hours (111.5 miles) each way and risk being eaten by inbred yokels, just to meet some weird sorts who spend all day buggering about on t'internet. Please carve all answers into a large turnip and send it up to Trent Bridge on the back of a hay wagon. |

I haven't got a large turnip, so you'll have to make do with ether mail. Are animal costumes compulsory? Yes, given the rabbit and squirrel theme of the races ;-). Do you risk being eaten by inbred yokels? This is Cambridge, so you'd be at risk from GlennR's rabid rabbits and squirrels! |

Pre-registering helps by giving a rough idea of numbers but is by no means compulsory You do as many or as few of the races as you want Miles are broken down into groups based on predicted times - I'm always in the slowest group and you'll easily beat me There are no snipers but an awful lot of cake |

I don't have an animal costume, but do have a snowman one. Not sure that I fancy wearing it to run a mile in July.

Snipers would add a certain frisson to the event.
