Things to consider....

There are a number of factors you need to be 

aware of completing this event.

• There are a number low bridges (if you are over 6' Tall)

• Whilst we work closely with the land owners (CRT) parts of the route may be lined with overhanging trees, bush, nettles and thorns.

• Parts of the route are narrow to pass along.

• Other users on the route such as cyclists, walkers, other runners, People fishing who may be going the opposite direction to you.

• Wildlife such as Geese and Swans, who may have young with them.

• A variety of different ground types, such as concrete, gravel, grass.

• Loose bricks, anchor points, rope and raised brick work also contribute to trip hazards.

• Falling into the canal - Lack of or vandalised rescue equipment. 

  • • • What happens if I fall in? - Don't Panic (easy to say), relax your body, try and stand up (some parts of the canal are shallow).

      • Kick your legs
