For our 50km races, you are required to carry a paper map (provided at registration), or have access to the GPS track on your phone or watch, just in case you need it as a backup.

What happens if I get lost?
Retrace your steps, looking out for a left/right turn that you may have missed.

If you have the GPS track on your watch or phone or are carrying a route map, consult this to help find the correct path.

If this fails, please call the event phone number.

Sometimes signage gets tampered with, if you think this is the case please alert the race director via the event phone number.

How are road crossings navigated on the course?
Runners are responsible for their own safety while crossing roads, and if necessary they will need to stop to allow traffic to pass. We aim to have marshals at all busy road crossings to aid the safe crossing.

What happens if I'm injured or need to withdraw during the race?
In the first instance, please make your way to the nearest checkpoint, or walk back to a marshal (if you have recently passed one).

If you are unable to do this, and your injury is not life-threatening, please call the event phone number (provided in the race-specific communication).

In order to locate yourself and communicate this to us, we recommend having the OS Locate application downloaded to your phone.

In the event of a life-threatening injury, please do not hesitate to call the emergency services and then alert our event team.

Please return your timing wristband to a marshal before leaving the race.
