It is recommended that entrants arrive approximately 45 minutes before their race to ensure plenty of time to get to the start lines.

All entrants will be issued a colour-coded race number based on the estimated finish time entrants supply when registering for the event. Please start in the wave associated with the colour on your bib.

There is a time limit of 4 hours for the Half Marathon. If you are still running when the organiser needs to re-open the roads you may be asked to move to the path. If you think you will be longer than 4 hours, please get in contact with the organiser via email at info@goldlineevents.co.uk where they will be more than happy to discuss how they can assist you to take part.
