Our booking system enables people to book their time slot to make sure that there is never a gathering of people arriving at a venue at any one time. We will have all COVID protocols in place at the venue to screen runners and walkers, as well as some trail safety measures to ensure that you can enjoy your time out on the trails in a secure way.

We have taken advice from our insurers and adapted our policy accordingly, so we have all the necessary cover in place.
