For the senior race there is a strict limit of 100 runners due to safety issues with descending the chimney. Once the senior race is full we will open a waiting list in case there are retirements. Any one that enters the senior race and then cannot run must inform us so we can pass their place on.
Once the race is full and you are on the waiting list you will need to purchase a ticket directly from the Kilnsey Show website.
For races that are not full, entries will remain open online till Saturday 24th August, but you will need to purchase your own full price entry ticket if registering after 10th August. It will also be possible to enter these races, except the senior crag race, on the day.
