Headphones: Most of our courses are off-road, but we still prefer you not to wear earphones, and due to on-course incidents, we have taken the decision to ban large over-ear headphones. These block out any other sounds and don't allow runners to hear marshals, vehicles, or other users of the route. If you do need to wear earphones, then please use bone conducting earphones or "one in one out" in-ear pieces. Please note there may will be unmarshalled road crossings. Transfers/Deferrals: You can self-serve your transfer or deferral on our website. Defers are only allowed up to 7 days before the event Please notify the closest marshal if you are struggling, injured, or want to retire. We no longer mail out a race brief as most of the information is here on the website however, we advise you to visit our FAQ section and join the “Grim Up North Chat” group on Facebook which will help with any other questions you have.
