When you book a place at the Windmill Remembrance Day 10k, you can expect a comprehensive and enjoyable experience from start to finish. Prior to the event, participants will receive a detailed race pack containing essential information, including the race route, event schedule, and tips for race day preparation. On the day of the event, you can anticipate a well-organised and welcoming atmosphere. Runners will be provided with a high-quality race bib, personalised with their name and pre-attached chip timing tag. There will be ample parking and clear signage to guide you to the start line. Participants will have access to baggage storage too. Throughout the race, there will be strategically placed water stations, as well as enthusiastic volunteers offering support and encouragement.

REGISTRATION
Your race pack needs to be collected from the Race Makers on the day from the race venue. Registration opens at 8.00am and closes at 10.45am. Please bring your email confirmation or payment receipt with you when collecting your race pack (which includes pins to attach your running number to the front of your running top) to ensure a swift collection process. You should arrive in plenty of time to avoid queues. There is an enquiry desk if you have any problems or questions about the event.

TOILET FACILITIES
In addition to the toilets at the race venue, and at the start area, there are facilities along the route. They are ‘Danfo’ super loos that require a 40p to operate. We recommend taping a few coins to the back of your running number in case you need to use them during the race. Toilets will also be available at the finish of the race.

RACE DAY ITSELF
Arrive in plenty of time to allow you to park; collect your running number; get changed and visit the toilet etc. Just before the start the toilets become busy so plan your visit carefully. When you have your running number, fill in the medical information section on the back. Be careful not to damage or lose your number, as replacements will not be issued. If there is a risk of you blacking out during the race (for example if you suffer from fits), put a red cross on the front of your number. Pin your number on your FRONT without folding or covering it - it needs to be seen by the Race Makers. Do not pass your running number on to anybody else without first notifying registration - this is to ensure the results are correct and for obvious safety, insurance and medical reasons. When you are happy that you are ready to run, make your way to the start area. The start location is clearly marked by the inflatable archway. Line up behind the start line, where there will be a few safety announcements and before the race starts.Please be at the start line for 10.50am so we can mark Remembrance Sunday with a two-minute silence. The route you are running on is open to the public so be aware of pedestrians and cyclists. We advise that you do not wear iPods or similar devices whilst running. You may not hear stewards or indeed fellow runners if they need help! At the finish you will be awarded with your runners medal. Water will be available along with medics, should they be required.

WATER STATIONS & AID
A water station is located at halfway (5k) on the route. Bottled water is available to all runners. The bottle cap will be removed before being passed to you. The station will be clearly signed. Please try and drop your bottles as soon as possible so we don’t litter the course too much. It also helps the crew at the stations to pick the bottles up quicker. A water station is also located at the finish area. Medics are available at the water station and at the finish. If you get into any difficulties on the course you should alert a steward or medic who will be able to help you.

DROPPING OUT, SLOWER RUNNERS & WALKING
If you have to drop out for any reason, and you cannot make your own way back to the race venue to collect your belongings, then make your situation known to a course steward or a member of the medic crew. Arrangements will be made to pick you up and bring you back. Priority will be made in cases of injury or illness. If you are very slow, but are determined to finish, on-course facilities may become less available. Our team at the rear of the field will endeavor to give you support and advice. At some point, perhaps through tiredness, cramp, blisters, etc, you may be forced to walk. If this happens you must move as far to the left hand side as possible to allow runners to overtake.

WHAT IF I AM ILL OR INJURED?
You must be fit and well to compete in the event. Severe exertion during or soon after any illness is extremely dangerous. Do not take any chances with your health. If you find yourself in this situation you must withdraw. But do not despair! You can defer or transfer your place using the online form (fees may apply).

All runners receive a very special commemorative medal at the finish line, along with drinks and snacks to help you recover from your run. Individual race winners are awarded prizes in the following categories:
First 3 Male winners in the race
First 3 Lady winners in the race
First Male Veteran over 40/45/50/55/60/65/70+
