The Humdinger is fast approaching and to welcome new visitors (even if it is only a brief visit as they shoot past on the challenging Humdinger course) we are putting on an extra catering space plus fantastic offers in the shop.

The catering tent will be set up nice and early for runners (and hardworking volunteers) to grab a bit of breakka or to refuel after the race. On the marquee lawn, it's in the perfect position to pick up a pastry or a cup of tea whilst spectating the race.

Hannah in the Shop is also offering a a FREE canvass jute bag with any purchase over £15. Look out for her leaflets when you arrive.

Good luck Have fun And we hope to see you again
