Conti Thunder Run

Race Numbers

Race numbers must be worn while racing. Please be sure to write your emergency details on the reverse of the race number, include an emergency contact number, any medication you are taking at the time of the event also any known allergies you have.

If a competitor is found on course without their race number on, their lap will be discounted from the race.

The Baton

The relay baton must be carried by the ‘on course’ runner at all times. Losing the baton will incur a time penalty with the incoming runner having to wait 5 minutes before being given a new baton to hand over.

Minimum Laps
Each registered runner must complete at least one lap during the 24 hours for the teams score to count. There is no maximum number of laps.
If taking a break please leave the course after crossing the timing mats and tell the timing official that you are taking a rest break. This time off course will be added to the next lap when you, or another team member, return to continue

Lights
Being a 24 hour race it’s going to get dark and all racers on course between sunset and sunrise must have a working light be it head torch or hand held unit. Bear in mind there will be about nine hours of darkness please make sure your lights are charged and will see you through the whole night. Our lightning sponsors will announce their activities at the event shortly.

Medical and Massage

There will be a qualified medical team on site to deal with medical emergencies for the duration of the event. The First Aid point will be stationed in the main arena. All race marshals will be able to radio for help if necessary.

Masseurs will be in attendance. These guys are all volunteers and will massage competitors for a cash donation. Please turn up with clean legs and bring your own towel.

Headphones

Ideally, we would prefer you not to use headphones whilst running, but due to the duration and nature of the event runners are permitted to compete with one earphone in only.  Runners found to have two earphones in will be subject to a time penalty or have their lap discounted, at the discretion of the event.
