Wizard 9k multi-terrain Race – 2024 – Race cancelled
Just a note on the Wizard 5 which you will have noticed we are not staging this year. Two years ago we had a really unfortunate incident where cows in a field on the course were spooked and ran towards the runners during the race. Last year we mitigated that by removing the field from the route but that necessitated a 3km road stretch with marshals and runners out on that road for an extended period. Upon review we feel that the risks posed by the cow field or the replacement road stretch routes are not sufficiently well-mitigated to put the event on safely. As disappointing as it is, we currently therefore have no plans for a Wizard 5 race this year.
