Frequently Asked Questions: Please have a look for your query before contacting us:
No, we will give you your bib number on registration. We do not post information, items or clothing out before the event.
No. When entries are closed that means we are no longer accepting new entries. We do not have a waiting list and there are no entries available on the day.
The bus to the start is included in your entry fee - so there is no need to book. Just turn up, get on and enjoy your Sidlaw experience!
No. This is a point to point race. We recommend you park at the finish and take your place on the bus to the start or have a friend drop you off at the start. Then you can run to the finish and meet your car.
No. We offer T-shirts at an additional price. Our T-shirts are made to order by Appin Sports and they are usually anti-wicking, sublimated in a different design each year. We offer both Unisex and Womens Fit. Participants will be emailed with the design nearer the event time.
PLEASE CHECK THE SIZE YOU ORDERED - AS THAT'S THE SIZE THAT WILL BE MADE FOR YOU
If you want a T-shirt, please order one as we won't have extras available at the finish.
T-shirts can be collected at Registration on the day of the Sidlaw Ultra- we love it when you wear your brand new shirt for the event! Or if you prefer you can collect it at the finish with your medal.
Entry is non-refundable - please see our full Terms and Conditions
Your entry fee is invested into the cost of putting on the event with the fees covering, suppliers, first aiders, venue fees and administration costs.
We do allow you to defer your entry to the following year – one time only - you must give 4 weeks prior to the race date to allow for deferral.

Please see below for deferrals for pregnancy/adoption.
NB - if you have deferred onto this year's event from last year you won't be on the start list just yet - please be patient, Ben adds in one go when all the deferals, changes and transfers have been received.
You are responsible for your own drop bag(s) – before and after the race. Wee Run Events takes no responsibility for loss or damage to your drop bag(s) whilst it is being conveyed to checkpoints and during the race. We are human, sometimes things get lost!
We recommend that you pack the items you need at each checkpoint in a plastic sealable freezer bags, or similar. DO NOT pack in expensive bags or something that you would be devastated to lose!
Write your Name/Bib number and CP number on the baggie.
If you DNF or go home (for whatever reason) it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to get in touch with us to arrange to collect any possessions.
Anything left over after the race will be put into lost property. Food and other perishable items will be thrown away the following day. We keep lost property for a MAXIMUM of 7 days and then it gets thrown and/or donated to charity.
Yes you can defer your entry if you are pregnant or adopting for two years. We hope this will allow you enough time to train for the event. Please give 4 weeks notice prior to the race date to allow for deferral.
We offer a deferral if your partner is pregnant and their due date falls within one week of race day. Please give us a minimum of 4 weeks notice to defer.
Yes, we will do all we can to accomodate you. Please get in touch as soon as possible so we can help to arrange a place at the checkpoints for you to meet and feed your baby. Email: nic@weerunevents.co.uk
We have tried to provide toilets throughout the course. In 2025 there will be inside toilets at both the start and finish.
There are toilets at every checkpoint.
Checkpoint 1 and 2 are indoor toilets.
Checkpoint 3 is a "welfare" (campervan-type) vehicle with a toilet.
Period products will be available at the race start (no need to ask) and in each toilet on the course.
All toilets are gender neutral.
Unfortunately not, this is a human only event as we are only insured for two-legged participants.
If you ignore this and run with your dog you'll be disqualified - it puts other runners at risk and invalidates our insurance so should the worst happen (and your dog casues an accident) you would be liable to pay the First Aid costs in full.
Sorry no, we won't post your T-shirt out to you. We try to keep T-shirt costs as low as possible to make it more affordable for everyone.
You are welcome to come to the event to pick up your T-shirt (or send someone).
Ordered T-shirts left over at the end of the event may be sold (cost donated to charity) or given away to volunteers.
You must be 20 years old and above to do over 45km (27.9 miles)
