Registration

Travel
From London
The distance from Fleet Station to the event is 5.5 km. A return train from London is £16.70 and travel time is 53min, but not so good for a lift from fellow Brutal runners.

The distance from Aldershot Station to the event is 4 km and the return train from London is £16.50 the travel time is from 49 mins.  And you have much more of a chance of thumbing a lift for the last 2.5 km with a simple Brutal sign as this is the main route in to the event.

Other information
Please note, for insurance purposes, we only allow those 13 years old and over to race.

If you are unable to race do not give your entry to another person. There are several reasons for this. 1. We need runners to sign our Terms and Conditions. 2. With incorrect emergency contact details we won't be able to inform family should an accident occur. 3. You will make the event's results incorrect and delay everyone receiving their finish times and places.
