Although I haven’t done one the maverick trail races get good feedback for being interesting but also more sociable which I suppose is the kind of vibe you’re aiming for? Could be worth speaking with them?
I think it sounds good but that’s quite a lot of time commitment - I think for the first one it’s better to be short but a total blast. I know you say you want to avoid hype but at the same time I think that’s some of what excites people/makes people attend. The OSR midnight run in hackney got pretty good attendance and looked fun but maybe too hype scene for what you’re aiming for?

Hey all. I’ve been wanting to organise a race for a while. Life keeps getting in the way. Thanks to the current situation I now have some time to set concrete plans. You all have a breadth of experience and I’d value any ideas or thoughts you have. Good and bad. So…
I’d like to set up multi stage event. This will entail: Hill Climb // Tunnel Sprint // Elimination 5km race (on a track. Each lap the last person is eliminated) // Half Marathon
I want to make this as simple and cheap as possible. Im trying to avoid sponsorship and hype in general. I just want a create an interesting grass roots event.
So, a few questions:
Do you think people would be interested?
My initial plan was to do the whole event over the course of a long weekend (Thurs-Mon evenings). My concern is that this would burnout the runners and may be too big of a time commitment.
Do you feel £15 is a reasonable fee?
