Event Details
Licensing
This event (with the exception of the Family Fun Run) will be licensed with UK Athletics (UKA) and the results published by Run Britain shortly after the event.
Bib Numbers
Bib numbers will be mailed to all participants who have registered with a valid UK address by midnight on the Sunday prior to the event. When a bib cannot be mailed due to an incomplete/invalid address – and in cases where it does not arrive – participants can collect a new/replacement bib at the event. Participants need not contact us with respect to non-receipt of their bib but should be prepared to show their booking confirmation on arrival if requested.
Results
Results will be uploaded live to our website (internet connection permitting) and communicated to all pre-registered participants within 24 hours of the event.
Rewards
All finishers will receive a medal on completing their event and, subject to a competitive field of participants, prizes may be available for the top three places overall – and the top place in each of the veteran categories (V40/V50/V60/V70) – for both females and males at each distance. Winners will be notified via email by the end of the following week where a presentation is not possible on the day, and once results are considered final. No prizes will be offered for the Family Fun Run.
Pacers
Subject to availability, pacers will be offered in the Half Marathon with target times between 1h30 and 3h00.

This event is not suited to wheelchair users due to the potential difficulty of the course but participants wishing to compete with specialised equipment are asked to contact us before entering to ensure we can accommodate any additional requirements.
Buggies, Pushchairs and Strollers
As a UK Athletics licensed event, the pushing of persons in any device is prohibited under the UKA Rules of Competition – including, but not limited to – buggies, pushchairs, strollers (or similar) and wheelchairs. Such devices are permitted in the Family Fun Run only.
Spectators
Spectators are permitted at this event.
Earphones/Headphones
Noise-cancelling earphones/headphones are prohibited and, whilst we discourage the use of other earphones/headphones in running events, participants choosing to use them should ensure they are set to a low enough volume that instructions from event officials can be clearly understood.

Participants must not be accompanied by a personally owned or controlled dog during an event. Entries may be accepted from participants with medical assistance dogs, subject to them being correctly registered and identifiable as such, and subject to prior approval by the Event Director.
