UNAUTHORISED NUMBER SWOPPING
This is forbidden as it affects our timing systems and runner’s results/positions. Anyone caught doing so, will be excluded from this and future races and void any claims to trophies and prize money. For questions about this, please see here.

TIMING
When you cross the start and finish lines, your time will be automatically recorded. You must cross both the start and finish line wearing your chip to get a finish time. See the instructions in this leaflet for correct chip fitting. There will be computers available in the finishers area for you to look up your time and position.
Your bib race number and timing chip will be enclosed with the information pack post out to you 1-2 weeks before the event. Your bib race number should NOT be folded and made smaller, but simply pinned to the front of your shirt. Our standard UHF loop tag for running comes pre-attached to a Tyvek strip. DO NOT remove this, you’ll destroy the chip if you try! The tag can be worn on either shoe, just follow these instructions.

March Race Postponement
After careful consideration and in the interests of public health, we have taken the difficult decision to postpone this year’s event.
We recognise this news may be disappointing for those taking part, as it is for us, and we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause to runners, supporters and sponsors alike. We will email all runners and others stakeholders in the coming days, and post an update on our website and social media channels.
Every runner with a place in the 2020 Wright Hassall Regency 10k Run will have their entry automatically moved to the rescheduled date, 20 September 2020. There is no further action for runners to take at this time.
All runners who have a place for the 2020 event and who choose not to take part (or are unable to do so) have the option to transfer their entry to someone they know (see www.regency10k.co.uk for details on how to do this). As all proceeds from the event go to local good causes, such as the homeless and local community groups, we hope that runners will support a decision not to automatically issue refunds.

Race Director
