Race Numbers

SEE ENTRY LIST HERE

To collect your race pack, make your way down to the numbers desk between 6.05pm – 6.45pm. It will take around 15 minutes to collect your number and drop your bag off. The earlier you get there, the more efficient we will be on the day. You will only need one number attached to the front of your shirt. If you have your own pins then that would be great but we will have supplies if needed. Your timing chip will also be in the envelope, this needs to be attached to your shoe as per the instructions on the back of the chip. Please make sure you keep your number on at all times during the race. At the finish you can dispose of your chip (we do not need to collect them back).

You will find instructions on the back of your chip for how to attach it to your shoe correctly (as below):

Chip Instructions

Baggage

We will have a secure area where you can leave your baggage. We recommend you bring as little baggage as possible. Your baggage tag is attached to your race number, you simply tear it off and attach to your bag. To collect, all you have to do show you number to the baggage tent staff and they will help you find your baggage.

Refreshments

There will be water provided at the end of each lap (approximately 3k, 6k and 9k), and water at the finish. There will also be bananas & flapjacks waiting for you at the finish.

During the race

There will be marshals all around the course as well as km signs and arrows. The course is 1.5 laps for the 5k and 3 laps for the 10k on the roads/paths in the park. Please be aware that there will be spectators and members of the public using the park.

Pictures

We will have a photographer taking a few snaps of the race and they will be on Facebook after the race so be sure to check it out and see if you can spot yourself.

Travel

Please, wherever possible walk, jog, cycle or use public transport when attending the event. If you do have to drive, please consider car-sharing to reduce our impact on both the environment and other park users. Please also watch out for other park users when arriving and leaving.

By Car – There is plenty of parking on the roads around the park, there is a small car park next to the leisure centre and pool right next to the start, however, this will fill up quickly so it’s best to find spaces on the surrounding roads. The address is Brockwell Park Norwood Rd, London SE24 0PA

By Tube/Train – The park is within walking distance from North Dulwich, Loughborough Junction & Brixton stations but Herne Hill is the one nearest the park, less than 5 minutes walk.

By Foot – The park is easily accessible by both foot and cycle. Cycle parking is available in the park. Look for the Brockwell Lido within the park and you will be able to spot us.

Use TFL to help plan your journey.
