Contact Us

Next Event:
Is on Saturday 5th July 2025.

To register:
If you are new to FSOTM, then please pre-register here before the event, we will allocate you a number (barcode) on Friday afternoon and you can print out (see below) or pick up on Saturday morning.

Barcodes:
Here's a list of already registered people, please find yourself on the list, take a note of the page number and print only that page (it is a big file, you don't want to print it all!)

Start:
Please turn up ready to run at the start at 8:45. It is a 5 minute walk from the car park to the start.
Recording your finish time:
When you register, you will be issued with a barcode which we will scan it when you finish (it isn't the same as a parkrun barcode). If you don't have a barcode with you on the day, take a finish token (and try to remember what finish number you are), take a note of your finish time (there is a finish clock) and after the event, let us know and we will add you into the results.
