Normandy Rescue will be supplying ambulance and paramedic cover during the race.

Please fill in the medical information and contact details on the reverse of your race numbers, this information could save your life in the event of a medical emergency.

Take time to drink at each water station - slow down and drink.

If you are feeling that your heart rate, temperature and breathing are not as you would normally expect during such a physical challenge you must STOP, cool down and decide whether you should walk, retire or carry on.
