BIB NUMBERS & TIMING CHIPS...
| |
Your bib pack will be ready for you to collect on the day from 6.00am. The chip timing tag is pre-attached to the number so do not fold, cut or damage your number in any way or you may not receive an official finishing time. Your number must be worn on the front of your running top so your timing chip works correctly.
| |
You will find a baggage storage marquee located next to the collection points. Use this facility to store essential items you will need for when you have finished your event. Do not leave any valuables as this area is not manned.
We have a key drop facility available. Use your empty envelope after collecting your bib number to place your keys in and hand to a member of staff at the collection points for safekeeping whilst you are competing.

Fluids lost in sweat must be replaced. There will be 4 drink stations (with water available) along the Half Marathon route and 1 station on the 10k route. It is your responsibility to take on fluids as necessary. It is also not advisable to drink alcohol the night before – alcohol can have a serious impact on hydration.
| |
Portable toilets are conveniently located next to the start and finish area and will be available throughout the day. DO NOT leave your visit until the last minute as they will become notoriously busy. With that in mind, when using the toilets be as quick as possible to keep the queues down. There are no toilets on the course.
| |
The expert team from Remote Medical Services will be stood too for the duration of all the events. There will be paramedic responders on their bikes patrolling the courses and ambulance facilities at the start and finish areas. Should you need any assistance please alert a medic or marshal.
