facilities

Baggage

We will have a secure area where you can leave your baggage. We recommend you bring as little baggage as possible. Your baggage tag is attached to your race number, you simply tear it off and attach to your bag. To collect, show your number to the baggage tent staff and they will help you find your baggage.

Toilets

There will be plenty of portaloos brought on site for the event.

Refreshments

There will be water provided at the 5k point of the race, and there will also be water available at the finish.

things to note

There WILL be pedestrians, please be aware of pedestrians, cyclists and dogs. We have marshals around the course and signs but this is not a road race, you have to pay very close attention to where you are going. We recommend you do not use earphones and you need to pay close attention to everything around you.

Spectators
In terms of spectating, this park could literally not be any better, the fields are open and every area of the park is accessible to see people running round.
