THE EVENT
The start of the run will be staggered to avoid too much congestion on the towpaths. However this will not affect your time as our Results Base timing team will record your time from when you cross the starting mat.
There will be marshals around the course to support and encourage you.
Please take care when running around the course as this is public land and local residents will be out and about. Please always stay on the left unless otherwise guided.
If wearing headphones please make sure you can hear other people around you and marshal instructions.
AFTER THE EVENT
Results will be displayed on our Results Base Timing screen so after crossing the finish line you can check out your instant results. These go live to our website and you will receive an email update once the race is over.
