You will need to bring photo ID. If you cannot make it to 'Pack Pick Up' yourself, you may send someone to pick it up for you, but they will need a signed note from the original registered runner. This is not a method of transferring entries, the registered runner must still run.
On the back of your race number, you will need to fill out your emergency information. Please make sure this is done before you start the marathon.
Please note that no race packs will be available for collection on the day.

Great event, well run and organised. Wish there was a few more portaloos on the course. But that’s a very minor point on what was a great days running and event.
