Toilets

Hyde Park has two sets of Male and Female toilets, one near the bandstand which is virtually on the course, near the start/finish and the other set is next to The Old Police House. Please expect queuing at toilets.

 

Refreshments

Baggage

 There will be an informal bag drop area within the event village for runners to use.

 

Your baggage tag is attached to your race number, you simply tear it off and attach to your bag. To collect, show your number to the baggage tent staff and they will help you find your baggage.
