Can I run with a buggy?

Yes this is typically ok for most locations however please check the run route course as some locations can be a mix of path, trail, grass so not always suitable for running with a buggy. Also please try and stay to the left as much as possible to give room for other runners.

Simple route, great community support on and off the route, toilets and food trucks available on-site and parking wasn't bad at all. Overall would 100% recommend it for first-time runners!
