Entry donation is £3 per runner.

What is Pancake Day?

Pancake Day was originally known as Shrove Tuesday, which comes from 'shrive', meaning absolution for sins by doing penance.

The date moves around because it is determined by when Easter falls.

As such it can take place any time between February 3  and March 9 each year.
