Round the Rock Jersey

Before you enter, please take a few minutes to understand exactly what Round the Rock is — and what it isn’t. This is a small, grassroots event organised by a really small team, with the help of amazing volunteers on race weekend. It’s a labour of love, run alongside a full-time job, not a corporate operation with big budgets and big crews. We’re proud of what we do — but if your expectations don’t match our ethos, this may not be the event for you.

✅ What You Can Expect

• A stunning, rugged coastal route, well marked and supported by friendly volunteers
• Clear safety rules and a focus on runner welfare
• Basic but functional checkpoint food: fruit, crisps, sweets, water, biscuits, squash.
• Toilets at selected points along the course (These are not our facilities but a list will be provided before race)
• A GPX file to help you navigate if you’re unfamiliar with the route
• Honest, transparent communication before, during, and after the event
• An amazing Finishers medal

❌ What You Won’t Get

• Toilets at every checkpoint (we’ll compile a list of public conveniences along the route, but these are not our facilities)
• Gourmet checkpoint food or tailored menus — if you have dietary needs, bring your own supplies
• Big start/finish gantries, entertainment, or luxury infrastructure
• Outside support, pacers, or friends joining you on course (you will be disqualified)
• Immediate responses to every query — I work full-time, so sometimes replies take a little time.
