Earphones/Headphones: Noise-cancelling earphones/headphones are prohibited and whilst we discourage the use of other earphones/headphones at this event, participants choosing to use them should ensure they are set to a minimum volume such that instructions from marshals or other race officials can be clearly understood. We reserve the right to disqualify participants who cannot hear instructions as a result of their use.

Event Time-Limit: There is a strict 3-hour time-limit for this race in order that we adhere to the restrictions imposed by the road-closure schedule. If you are still out on the course at this time, the sweep vehicle will ask you if you wish to continue which, without the road closures in place, will be at your own risk. The sweep vehicle can also return you to the Race Village if you feel unable to complete the course.
