What if I can't run fast enough?
We're not worried about that, so why you should you? Taking part is the main thing... you'll feel amazing when you've completed the whole week!

What if I get tired before I reach the finish line?
You can take a break from running, and walk a little bit until you get your puff back, then run a bit more. Just remember your final sprint over the line with your head and arms raised high.

Are there toilets and changing facilites at the start?
Some venues will have no toilets or changing, and the facilities other venues are limited so please come prepared to run.

What's the minimum age you have to be to take part?
It's open to everyone who is under 18 years old. Runners who are under 8 years old must be accompanied on the run by an adult.

Do I get a prize for doing it?
There are special Tour momentos for everyone who finishes the whole Tour (all 5 races), and extra prizes to the winners in each age category. All these will be presented on Friday after the final race. There are no prizes, goodie bags etc for individual races.

How do you win the Tour?
Your times for all 5 races will be added together and the person who has run all 5 races in the shortest time wins. We hope that the results will be posted on this website after each race so you'll know what position you're in.

Do I have to be a member of an athletics club to run?
No, you can just come along - bring your friends with you! Or if you're in a football team, cub group, hockey club etc why not have the whole team take up the challenge. If you come along with your friends or team mates, then you can share transport with each other to make it easier for mum/dad.
