The Twilight Ultra, Marathon & Half Marathon
Sat 31st July 2021
Organiser's Description
The event features a choice of three distances from half marathon through to a 50k ultra distance, with start times varying according to the distance you select. If you aim high and select the 50k option, you can always step down to a shorter distance after you have started.
The race is perfect for runners of all abilities, from those looking to complete their first ultra or marathon distance, to seasoned long distance runners. The races have generous cut off times, with the circuit and event not needing to be cleared until 9pm. So, if you are looking for something a little bit different to the big city, mass participation marathons, then this could be the event for you!

Course Details
This race uses the tarmac circuit at the Cycle Centre and runners complete multiple laps. Ultra distance runners will complete just over 24 laps; the marathon consists of just over 20 laps and the half marathon just over 10 laps.
The surface is all tarmac and so your favourite running shoes will be just fine.
Each 2k lap will see you cover two uphill climbs and one exhilarating descent – the hills are not significantly steep but they will challenge your endurance.
Because each lap is relatively short at 2k, the races are perfect for those looking to complete the distance for the first time – you’re never far from the finish line and for assistance should you need it.

Results
As you cross the finish line please make sure you cross over the Chip Timing mat which will automatically record your official time against your race number.
Any runners wearing a bum bag around the course must be careful not to apply pressure to the timing chip on the reverse of your race number. This can cause a problem with the signals from the chip and may affect your race time. This also applies when starting/stopping your watch as you cross the line – please wait until you have crossed the mats before activating or deactivating your watch.
Signal Permitting- Live results will be available on www.nice-work.org.uk during the event and a full set will be posted online shortly after the event has finished. All athletes who provide us with a legible email address will also be emailed the final results on the next working day following the event. If you are missing from the results or need to report an issue, please email us at [email protected].
