The event venue facilities are open from 8.30am. Remember, we don't have time limits on our events so there is no need to worry about anything closing down! Just concentrate on enjoying the event.

CHECK-IN
The race pack collection points will be open on race day from 8.30am - 10.15am. All competitors must wear a personalised bib number on the front of their running top or jacket. The bib number also carries the chip timing tag (pre-attached, so don't remove it) which must be clearly visible as you go over the start and finish lines. Safety pins are available if required.

T-SHIRT COLLECTION
If you have pre-ordered a commemorative tech t-shirt, you can collect it from the t-shirt stand located next to the bib collection points. You will find a voucher in your bib pack. Please present this to the stewards who will exchange it for your t-shirt.

START
Both the 10k and 5k start together at 10.30am sharp. The start is located on Blackpool's Comedy Carpet. It will be a 'mass start' of competitors. The event is chip timed so your tag will only activate when you cross the start line.

RUNNING ROUTES
Your running routes are on the main Promenade, running through the world famous Golden Mile on a fully closed road

WATER STATION
A water station is available at the halfway point (10k ONLY) supplying 500ml bottled water. Shortly after the station you will see a large bin to throw your bottle into. Please use these and don't litter the route. Water is also available at the finish for both the 10k & 5k.

BAGGAGE STORAGE
You will find a baggage storage marquee located next to the collection points. Use this facility to store essential items you will need for when you have finished your run. Do not leave any valuables as this area is not manned.

CAR KEY STORAGE
We have a key drop facility available. Use your empty envelope after collecting your bib number to place your keys in and hand to a member of staff at the bib collection points for safekeeping whilst you are competing.

RESULTS
Shortly after the last competitor has finished, the results will be published on the FCR events website​. The results will show your official event time and your personal chip time. If you have any problems with your results we will try and sort as quickly as possible for you. Drop us an email giving as much detail as possible to [email protected].

MEDICAL SUPPORT
The amazing team of Paramedics from Remote Medical Services will be onsite for the duration of the event. There will be facilities available at the start/finish area and roaming bikes on the course itself. If you need any assistance please notify a marshal on the course who will get help for you.

• IMPORTANT! If you have entered the 10k event and on the day choose to run the 5k instead, then you must let us know as soon as you can after the finish. Make your way to the timing station next to the finish line.

All finishers will receive an awesome blingtastic medal at the finish line.
