RACE NUMBER

Your race number, which includes chip timing, will be available for collection during the week prior to the race.

For 2020, number and t-shirt collection will be from the Tunbridge Wells Sports Centre Entrance Foyer as from Thursday 13th February until Friday 14th February from 09:00 until 18:00, Saturday 15th from 09:00 to 17:00. Then on race day from the race HQ, (the main sports hall) from 07:00 till 08:30. The post code for both locations is the same TN4 9TX.
Please note on Thursday until Saturday you will be able to park in the Sports Centre car park but on race day this will be closed to runners.

Number collection is also possible on the morning of the event at the RACE HQ but please collect in advance to save the rush on the day. If you cannot collect in the week prior please ensure you arrive at HQ in adequate time on race morning to allow collection of your number. Your number is disposable after the race – you do not need to return it. Do not allow anyone else to run using your race number. It is against UKA rules and could result in a medical emergency.

There is no issue with transferring your entry and it is free transfer to friends and family members as long as notify before the start of the race. Please follow this link to notify about this - https://www.nice-work.org.uk/contact

RACE SCHEDULE

09:00am - Half Marathon start time

Normal running gear is perfect for the event. Please bear in mind that this event is in February and therefore it is advised that you have warm items of clothing for and after the race.

Spectators are very welcome!

The race is organised by volunteers from Tunbridge Wells Harriers.

Is this event suitable for wheelchair athletes?

We regret that it is not suitable for wheelchair athletes.

Are dogs allowed or buggies?

Dogs or buggies will not be permitted, and athletes must not be accompanied or followed by others on cycles.

Are headphones allowed?

As above – runners are NOT ALLOWED personal headphones to listen to iPods, MP3 players, or other personal music players while participating in the race. Running whilst wearing headphones significantly reduces your ability to hear traffic, instructions and warnings from the police and marshals, and generally distracts your attention, increasing the risk of accident or injury to yourself and possibly other people.

Can I enter on the day?

Providing the entry limit has not been reached, entries will be available on the day for all of our races. There is an extra charge for entering on the day and this is stated on the individual event entry form.

What is the difference between attached/affiliated and unattached/unaffiliated?

Runners who are members of a UK Athletics affiliated running club are 'attached' runners; if you are not a member, then you are 'unattached'

What is the age limit for this event?

17 years and over

How do I attach my timing chip?

Your timing chip is incorporated into your race number and should not be removed. Please place the race number on the front of your vest/shirt and not on your leg or back.

How do I attach my race number?

Please attach your race number to the front of your running top or vest using safety pins or clips, securing it on all four corners. Please don’t attach your number to the back of your shirt as it is difficult for our timekeepers and marshals to identify you.

Are there prizes on offer at the event?

At all of our events, we offer prizes for leading runners in the race and winners of each age category. There is a maximum of one prize per person and the prize giving is normally 45-60 minutes after the first finisher home. Age categories are worked out by your age on the date of the race. At all of our races, all finishers will be offered a memento or medal, plus finish line goodies.
