The Important Stuff

450 runners maximum — The site is open to other users and the courses use public footpaths. Please bear this in mind when participating in our events.

Race Day

Sign In is open from 8.30am. On arrival you need to sign in at the Registration Desk in the visitor centre. Please follow the signs or ask a marshal.

Each race (5K, 10K, Half Marathon) has a separate sign-in line — look out for the signage.

We operate a chip timing system so all runners will receive a tag for their running shoes. These tags will be given out at sign-in along with your race number, which needs to be displayed on your chest. Safety pins will be provided.

Please ensure you are signed in and at the start line from 10am and ready to run by 10.15am. We will start with the Half Marathon, then the 10K, then the 5K.
