We would recommend that this event is wheelchair accessible with assistance. A small section of the course is on grass, but it is mostly paths. The course is fairly flat however there are a few inclines that would require assistance to get up. The venue is accessible from all entrances with limited disabled parking available at the leisure centre.

Meeting Point Information

The start line is situated in the Quarry on the grass field in between the Dingle and path along the river.
