Number Collection

You can collect your race numbers from the collection desk. 

Pre-Race and Safety Briefing

We are hoping to partially close roads for this event to ensure the safety of all runners and road users, but there will still be some traffic on the roads for local residents. Therefore you must ensure you abide by road running standards and listen to the marshals around the course who offer any instruction. This is for the safety of everyone.

We do not advocate the use of earphones/headphones/airpods or other products which may hinder your ability to hear the traffic, marshals and surroundings.
