Registration: 
You will need to be at the venue around 30minutes before your start time which will give you enough time to collect your race number, receive the relevant race briefing and get ready to run. Please note the venue does not open until 8am, so do not arrive early.

Race Etiquette
All runners will be running at different speeds so overtaking will be on the right, if you are looking to walk some of the distance, or Jeff for example, we would ask that you take to the outer lanes, it is important that everyone enjoys the event and as we would expect everyone to respect each other accordingly. 

As we head into dusk, you will be required to wear a head torch.  As it is bonfire night, we expect the locals to be putting on Fireworks, so potentially a unique experience whilst running the track.

Distance
The distance you run by your watch may vary due to the lap that you run in, we will only be counting the laps and that will dictate the distance covered, therefore if you choose to take the furthest lane out, the distance counted will still be by laps x 400m.

Venue
Wodson Park Sports and leisure centre, Wadesmill Road, Ware, Hertfordshire, SG12 0UQ
