Registration for the ballot for entry to the 2019 Grizzly/Cub races will open at 10am on Friday, August 31, and close at 8pm on Friday, September 21.

Organisers then hope to announce the ballot results by Friday, October 5.

The date for the 2019 Grizzly, one of the most popular on the South West Running calendar, is March 10.

Any runner who had a place in the 2018 race as at 11am on Saturday, March 17, 2018 will receive a guaranteed entry in the 2019 race (a reminder that this place must be paid for).

However, you must still enter the ballot and pay for your place in the usual way. Further details of the entry process will be published shortly at www.axevalleyrunners.org.uk/grizzly/ and on the official Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Grizzly2019/
