TENTH FIELD CIRCUIT consists of two separate competitions:

Invited places are issued directly by TENTH.

Individual Field entry costs £35 per runner.

Community Field Relay entry costs £120 per six-person team.

Entry fees secure a place in the selected race format. Full cancellation, transfer and refund terms will be provided during registration.

Spectator entry is free.

All competitors must be aged 18 or over on the date of the event.

Participants may be required to provide photographic identification during race-bib collection.

Registration includes:

• Entry to the selected race format
• An official race bib
• RFID race timing
• Access to the designated course and competition areas
• Race-day hydration support
• On-course first-aid and event support

Any additional items or participant benefits will be confirmed before the event.

Entry fees are non-refundable if a participant cancels or is unable to attend. Entries cannot be deferred to a future event.

Transfers or participant substitutions are permitted only with prior written approval from the TENTH event team.

For questions about an existing entry, contact info@tenthathletic.com.

Invited participants will receive a private registration link or access code directly from TENTH.

An invitation does not replace registration. Every participant must complete the registration form, provide the required information and accept the event terms before competing.

No. Participants may enter either the Individual Field or the Community Field Relay, but not both.

This protects participant recovery, keeps the race-day schedule on time and ensures places remain available to more runners.

Yes.

Public entrants and invited participants compete under the same sporting rules. Qualification is determined by performance, regardless of how the participant entered the event.

Up to 48 athletes will progress to the Field Final.

The final qualification structure and any applicable category allocations will be confirmed in the official race rules.

The Individual Field progresses through three competition stages:

1. Field Qualifying
2. Grid TT
3. Field Final

Field Qualifying is completed over eight laps. During laps 01–07, athletes complete four Trail laps and three Road laps in an open sequence. Lap 08 is completed on the Road loop.

The highest-placed qualifying athletes progress to Grid TT and the Field Final.

Before the Final, each qualified athlete completes one timed Road loop in Grid TT. Grid TT determines the starting order for the Final; its times do not carry into the Final result.

The Field Final is contested over 12 laps: six Trail laps and six Road laps. Athletes determine their own Road and Trail sequence before entering the final Road-only lap.

The course consists of:

• Road Loop: approximately 660 metres
• Trail Loop: approximately 1,230 metres

Final course measurements may be adjusted following installation, testing and official course verification.

Each participant’s laps and times are recorded using an RFID timing system.

Course timing points and event officials will record which loop has been completed. Participants remain responsible for following the required Road and Trail sequence.

Participants must complete the prescribed number of Road and Trail laps.

Missing a lap, completing an additional lap or entering the wrong terrain may result in a time penalty, loss of position or disqualification. The final decision will be made by the race officials under the published race rules.

Each Community Field Relay team consists of six registered runners.

All six runners must complete their individual registration requirements before the team entry is confirmed.

The Community Field Relay is a separate six-person team competition with its own timing, ranking and podium.

Only one runner from each team may be active on the course at a time. Runners must complete their assigned Road or Trail leg before making an exchange inside the designated Relay Exchange Zone.

The Relay does not affect qualification, Grid TT positions or results in the Individual Field.

The final leg order and terrain allocation will be published in the official Relay rules.

Each team is timed from the start of its first leg until the completion of its final leg.

The total time includes all running legs and exchanges. RFID timing and exchange-zone officials will be used to verify the result.

Penalties may be applied for an invalid exchange, missed timing point or incorrect course sequence.

Yes.

The team captain submits the team entry, but every runner must complete an individual participant form, provide emergency information and accept the event terms.

The team will not be confirmed until all six runners have completed registration.

Race bibs will be collected from the Check-in desk at Field Base.

The exact check-in location and opening time will be shown in the race guide and on the venue map.

Please bring:

• Your registration confirmation or check-in QR code
• Valid photographic identification
• Any additional documentation requested by the event team

Race bibs may not be collected on behalf of another participant unless this has been approved in advance.

Participants should arrive at least 60 minutes before their allocated race session.

This allows time for check-in, bib collection, bag drop, the mandatory race briefing and warm-up. Individual arrival times will be included in the final race-day information.

The planned race-day facilities include:

• Toilets
• Changing facilities
• Bag drop
• Drinking-water and hydration points
• First aid
• Accessible entrances and viewing areas
• Food and drink
• Spectator areas

Food and drinks will be available at the venue.

The final catering offer, opening times and payment arrangements will be announced before the event. Participants should bring any personal race nutrition they require.

Venue food and drink rules will apply.

Spectators should check the final venue guidance before attending. Personal medical supplies and dietary requirements should be discussed with the venue or event team in advance.

Participants may bring their own race nutrition and a refillable water bottle, subject to the final event rules.

Participants must wear their official race bib and suitable running footwear and clothing.

Trail running shoes are recommended for the Trail loop. Any additional mandatory equipment required because of weather, lighting or course conditions will be listed in the final race guide.

The event is intended to continue in normal wet-weather conditions.

The organiser may change, delay, shorten or cancel part of the event if weather or course conditions create an unacceptable safety risk. Updates will be communicated through the registered participant email address and official TENTH channels.

Yes.

Official photography and filming will take place throughout the event for event documentation, results coverage and TENTH communications.

Participants and spectators should review the event privacy notice before attending. Anyone with a specific concern should contact the event team or speak to the information desk on arrival.

Photographers attending with a registered community or running crew must submit a separate Community Photographer Accreditation application.

Each registered crew may nominate one photographer. Accreditation is subject to approval and does not provide unrestricted course access.

Approved photographers must remain within designated media areas and follow all instructions issued by event officials.

Provisional results will be published on the TENTH FIELD CIRCUIT website following the event.

Results will become official once timing data, penalties and any race-official decisions have been reviewed.

Official race photographs will be published in the TENTH FIELD CIRCUIT event gallery after the event.

The gallery link and publication timing will be shared through the event website, participant email and official TENTH channels.
