Event day logistics

Start time

The run will start promptly at 9.30am on Sunday 29 June. To ensure that you have time to drop off your bag and collect your race number, we would encourage you to arrive by 8.30am.

Race numbers and timing

Race numbers can be collected at the registration desk in Cherry Tree Wood where the race starts and finishes. We are not distributing race numbers in advance of race day. Please do allow time to arrive and pick up your number.

Your race number incorporates a timing chip so in order to receive your final time, it is essential that you wear your race number throughout the run. Individual results will be available at the finish and a full set of results will be sent out soon after the run is completed.

Once you have picked up your number don't forget to write your name and emergency details on the back of your race number. If you can please bring your own safety pins to attach your number to your running vest that would be amazing and save us some money, we will have some spares though on the day.

Bags and toilets

We will have a bag drop-off point set up in Cherry Tree Wood, so you can leave your bag there and pick it up at the end of the race. There are toilets at the start.
