• If you wear headphones be aware of people around you - don't drift & trip others up! It is best not to wear them - just soak up the atmosphere! We do ask that runners don't wear headphones - but if you really can't run without them then we ask that you please be vigilant so that you are able to hear marshal's instructions and emergency vehicles - It's really important, and for your own safety and for the safety of others, please use common sense and show a duty of care to those around you. Bone conduction headphones are acceptable and are endorsed by UK Athletics.
