With less than one hour to go until midday it’s time we call !!!
Remember unlike the real life event you need all your running complete in 24 hrs.
Final push!!

How have the night laps been? The sunlight brings a new lease of life to lots of runners.
Keep going strong, into the last 6 hours now!!

We’re clocking off for the night (not something we’d do on a normal race weekend but then we’d have you all for company!). If you are running night laps, stay safe and good luck!!! Feel free to share your pics here.

Who is running a night lap?! Headtorches at the ready.....

Who is doing a sunset lap? Sunset is at 21:33. It would have been a beauty at the castle tonight! Show us your sunset lap pics

How’s it going runners? Tell us what you’ve run so far... 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️

Good Morning! We wanted to be saying this in person to you all today at Belvoir Castle but here's a big virtual HI from us. Who is ready to run this weekend?!

We may not be having our planned Friday night pre-race fun with live music from the Detroits tonight but we will be raising a drink to you all. What are you doing pre-race this evening?

Hands up if you are doing your virtual Solstice24 this weekend?

If it weren't for the dreaded Coronavirus we would be in this field at Belvoir Castle right now setting up for this epic first ever Solstice24. We are sad that this wasn't meant to be but we are looking forward to the Virtual Solstice24 (which many of you are running this weekend!).

Good morning!
If you are one of our runners please set our email addresses as safe senders as we will be starting to send out your entry codes to the Virtual Run and Equinox24 this week. It could come from [email protected] or [email protected]. Check junk/spam folders daily too please. Sometimes emails just can’t get through but this will help. It will take us some time to complete so please don’t chase us up if you haven’t received an email until the end of April or until we share we’ve done them all.
We are spending a lot of time replying to emails asking us for updates which slows down the process further.
Please tag any solos, team CAPTAINS and 8km runners so they see this info.
We really appreciate your support.
Thank you 😊
Laura and Johnny

Had a few emails asking when we will complete the admin for the cancellation options. As we said on the forms and in our emails, we hope to complete it all by the end of April if not sooner. Thank you for your patience. Have a great (and safe) Easter weekend!

I've had a couple of questions asking if extra places for the Virtual Run will be available. Yes! There will be a fixed amount of additional places available to purchase online once the event is live and we will share details of this. So if you have transferred to Equinox24 but also fancy taking part in the virtual event or if you know of anyone else that may want to do the virtual event, then you will be able to enter soon.
If you know for sure that you want to purchase a place pop a comment below so that we have a rough idea of numbers.
Thanks again for your support, we hope you are all well.

We have emailed all Team Captains, Solo runners, 8km runners and additional runners - please check your inbox and spam/junk folders for this email as there is a link to a form you will need to complete to select your cancellation options. (Team members do not need to complete the form - only team captains). If you don't have it (we can see some bounced emails etc) please email or message us and we will send you a link. Thanks so much for your cooperation. Stay well xx

We have emailed an update to all competitors today. You can also view it here.

Solstice24 Update This is the email we were dreading writing but we have made the decision to cancel Solstice24 in June. We hate to disappoint anyone but we are making this call as we think it the best decision overall in light of the most recent government information.
