Can I use my iPod or similar device during the race?

We will not stop you from using a personal music device whilst participating, but we strongly recommend that you do not.

It is important that you are able to hear what is happening around you, including any emergency services that may be operating. Please note that you will be held strictly and solely liable if found to be responsible for harm to yourself or any third party, as a result of wearing a personal music-playing device.However, we do recommend the earphones with bone conduction technology that allows the wearer to listen to music while still being aware of their surroundings.Will there be pacers?Yes, our Pacing Team will be running with you on Race Day for the Marathon and Half Marathon Race, helping you to hit your target times! Further information on the times they will be pacing will be announced at a later stage. Look out for them en route; they will be wearing distinctive pacing flags.Can I take part in a bike, roller skates, skateboards etc.?

Participants are not permitted to use any of the above or similar in the event and those attempting to do so will be prohibited from starting and will be removed from the course.

Likewise, anyone attempting to start or join the race in any outfit that we, in our absolute discretion, deem unsuitable and/or dangerous to other competitors and spectators, will not be allowed to run at the event.

I am quite a slow runner, what happens if I don’t finish or it takes me more than 6 hours?

The roads around the course must follow a strict re-opening schedule. We have worked this out so that even if someone was just continually walking fast, they will be able to finish the race on the actual road surface of the route.

However, anyone moving around the course at slower than 6 hours 40 pace (that is slower than 4 miles an hour), may be told to move on to the pavement and in effect regard themselves as a pedestrian.

In addition, there will be cars and ambulances on the road if something happens or you are unable to finish.
