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.

Race Licence: This event is fully licenced by UK Athletics and held under their rules

Age Limits: The race is suitable for experienced runners and beginners alike. The minimum age on race day is 18 years for the ultra and marathon distance and 17 years of age for the half marathon.

Race Number Information: Race numbers will be available to collect on the day from the registration desk located at Race HQ. No ID is required but please arrive in plenty of time so that the race can start promptly.

Headphones: As the event is run under UK Athletics rules and takes place on a closed road circuit, headphones are permitted. However, we ask that you have the volume low enough to hear marshal instructions.

Prizes giving: Prize giving and presentation will be approximately 45 minutes after the first finisher in each race is home

Registration: The registration desk will be open from 8.00am and will be located adjacent to the start line and will be clearly signposted.

Refreshments: Food and drink will be available.

Water and Aid Stations: Two water and aid stations will be located on each lap on the route, allowing participants to take fluids and food during their race. Runners will be offered a variety of food and snacks plus hot and cold drinks. A water/aid station will also be located at the finish. Although we will ensure our water stations are well supplied, athletes are encouraged to bring their own nutrition and carry their own water bottles. We are happy to refill water bottles for you.

Changing and Shower Facilities: There are no changing rooms or showers at this event.

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].
