Schedule:

Please arrive at least an hour before race time to ensure plenty of time for race number collection, warm up, and lining up.

Bag Drop:

There will be bag drop facilities available at Race HQ in the Market Place.

Toilets:

Toilet facilities will be available at the event close to the start line. There will also be small number of portable toilets available on route at approx 8.5 miles.

Finish Line Logistics:

The timing chip inside your number will record your race time as you cross the line. Make certain that you run over the matting in the finish funnel, this will ensure that your chip is registered. Once you have crossed the finish line, don’t stop, keep moving to the end of the funnels; stay in the exact order in which you have finished. Please don’t get ahead of anyone in the finish funnels. This is very important for accurate timing and placing. If someone gets in front of you, politely ask them to go back, they may not only get your hard earned place and time, but they may also mess the whole results up.

Spectators are more than welcome to watch the race from any place on the course. The finish line at the Market Place is an excellent location to get involved with the action and cheer the runners on as they cross the line.
