Is there medical cover? 


Pulse Pursuits takes the safety of our event participants extremely seriously. When you enter our events you do so in the knowledge that you are fit and healthy, without any conditions that could affect you adversely. It is essential that any conditions that may affect you are brought to the attention of our registration team, who will assess whether you should take part in our event. You should remember that our events take place over various terrains, roads and water. Pulse Pursuits provides medical cover for our events but cannot be held responsible for any injuries suffered. We strongly recommend that you hold your own personal insurance.

What should I wear? 



  • For DirtRun events: Our trail events are mixed terrain and elevations and we suggest you dress appropriately. You should, especially, wear suitable running footwear with good grip for varied conditions. Generally trail shoes are recommended for all our locations. For our longer Ultra events specific kit lists are required, details of which will be issued directly to participants.

  • For JustRide events: Cycle clothing varies across event type and conditions. For all cycle only and duathlon events, it is mandatory that riders should where a correctly fitted cycle helmet whilst on the bike.

  • For PaddleSprint events: During regattas using Bellboats we provide bouyancy aids which must be worn to participate. During Stand Up Paddle Boarding (SUP) events, bouyancy aids must be worn, these will will be provided to particpants ihring a board and paddle only. Paddlesprint events temperatures will vary throughout the year, we advise being prepared for all seasons especially when participating in a SUP event where a full or shorty wetsuit may be required.

  • In the unlikely event that damage occurs to your clothing, footwear or accessories during one of our events Pulse Pursuits will not be held responsible.


What about spectators?


We love spectators and actively welcome them, especially those that cheer on participants! Due to the nature of the locations we may have to restrict spectator access but this will be clearly signed. We respectively ask all specators to keep away from the race course, transition and safety support areas. We ensure that spectators can see the start, finish and as much of the race as possible. Also our live commentary ensures that they feel part of the action.


Are children welcome?


DirtRun: So that the whole family can join in the fun we offer, where possible, a Junior race from age 4 to 10. On some occasions the entry list may be limited to 20 Juniors to fit in with the overall race shedule. This is a shorter flat race and parents are welcome to accompany their children. We charge just £5 for each entry online and £7 for on the day entries and this includes finishers medals and goodies. This race is entered on the day at the registration. There may be uneven and slippery ground at the event and may be open water near by, so we ask that children are supervised by a responsible adult at all times.


JustRide: We do not hold Junior cycle races at all our cycle events unless specifically advertised.


PaddleSprint: We enable Juniors from 4-10 to participate in our Regattas using Bellboats as long as there are two adults per crew in addition (total of 8 max). We do not offer SUP racing for Juniors.


Is there a bag drop?


There will be a covered bag drop area available at each event and whilst we take every care possible of your kit we cannot be held responsible for any loss.


What are the car parking arrangments and charges?


There is ample parking at our events and charges vary by location. For some events we obtain a special discounted rate of £1 per car, some locations charge £3 for each car, and others charge per person unless stated otherwise. We make clear the specific arrangements for each location inadvance. We encourage car sharing.
