We will have a secure marquee 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, show your number to our staff and they will help you find your baggage.

Toilets

We will be using toilet blocks located within the racecourse grandstand. They are a short diversion from the race route, accessible at the end of each lap, should you wish to use them during the race.

Water & Refreshments

There will be water provided approximately every 5km and there will also be water available at the finish along with your post race goodies and medal. Please note the 5k won’t pass a water station on the course.

Race packs will be available to collect upon the event village opening at 7:30.

Warm ups will take place 10 mins before each race start time.

Spectators are more than welcome, we advise staying in the event village where you will be able to catch the start & finish. If you choose to head onto the course, please be respectful of other runners, and members of the public.
