Race
The race will start at 7:30pm prompt. There will be a rolling road closure for most of the route in
the direction of the race, please be aware that vehicles can travel on the other side of the road.
Runners will be required to run in accordance with the Highway Code and in single file
wherever possible.
It is a fairly flat course with 33m of ascent and 33m of descent, a course profile is on our
website. There is one drinks station for water at 6km. There is also a first aid station here as well
as one at the finish. If you witness a fellow runner injured, or in difficulty, please make sure a
marshal has been informed before you continue your run.
The start is situated a few hundred metres from Race HQ and will be clearly signed. There are no
toilets at the start area. The start area will remain live to traffic until the road closure is put in
place at 7:20pm. Runners who get to the start prior to this time are requested not to block the
road and to assemble in the car park adjacent. To help ensure a smooth start we will indicate time
boxes at the roadside.
Once the race has started runners will have the use of both carriageways for approximately 200
metres, after which you will be guided onto the nearside carriageway only. Runners are reminded
to run on the left hand side throughout the race. This is for your own safety and is the shortest
route round the course.
The finish line is just before the gateway as you re-enter Race HQ. There will be a gantry
making it clearly visible. When you finish, please move off the carriageway onto the playing
fields, along the funnel and collect your bottle of beer, memento and refreshments.
NOTE: The wearing of headphones is strictly prohibited and any runners found wearing them
will be disqualified.
