INFORMATION NEEDED

Don’t forget your info - Remember your backsign and Race number – and don’t forget safety pins so you can attach your sign and number to you.

RACE - SCHEDULE

Please arrive 45 minutes before the start of the event.

Pretty Muddy events are in waves, each starting 15 minutes apart to make sure everyone on the course is safe. If you enter as a group, make sure you all enter the same wave as you cannot move waves once you’ve signed up.

Race start time - 10:45 am

Kit List

HAVE THE RIGHT KIT

Think comfortable clothes and trainers. Bring spare clothes and towel

BRING A BOTTLE

We’re trying really hard to reduce our single-use plastic consumption at Race for Life this year. We’re happy to provide bottles of water to those who need it, but if you can bring your own reusable bottle of water, already filled, that’d be great!

In our efforts to make Race for Life as sustainable as possible, we’re looking into water-providing solutions that are both cost-effective for the charity, and environmentally-friendly, by using as little single-use plastic as possible.

BE SUN SMART
Covering up will protect your skin - don't forget your hat and sunscreen too.

Spectators

This is a great spectator event. There are plenty of great viewing points to support your friends, family and loved ones from.

Volunteers

Our events couldn't happen without our amazing volunteers.

We're always on the lookout for folks to help at our events. If you know any lovely people joining you on the day who can offer a spare pair of hands, then why not suggest they volunteer? It’s also really fun!
