Collection Times
5:00pm – 6:40pm

**ALL RACE PACKS ARE TO BE COLLECTED ON THE DAY**

All entries will be assigned a number. To collect your number you need to make your way down to the collection desks on Wednesday Evening. It will take around 15 minutes to collect your number. 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).

Toilets

For this event we will use portable toilets. If you live locally we recommend using toilets at home.

During the race

We will have marshals all around the course as well as KM signs and arrows. It will be 2 laps for the 5k and 4 laps for the 10k.

Please be aware that there will be spectators and members of the public using the park – be aware of people walking, dogs & bikes.

You can see the course map HERE.

If you need to overtake on the course please be sure to take a wide berth around the runner or member of the public in front of you.

Spectators

Spectators are more than welcome to join us and can make their own way around the course and event village.

Refreshments

There will be a water station on every lap of the course. We recommend staying hydrated in the lead up to the event.

Baggage

We will have an informal baggage drop for this event. 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 it to your bag. To collect, show your number to the baggage tent staff and they will help you find your baggage.

After the race

There will be sealed ACTIPH water bottles at the finish for each runner to collect along with your medal, Love Corn and Bounce Ball which will be laid out on tables for you to help yourself.

We ask that once you have collected your medal and water to leave the event as soon as possible to avoid groups congregating within the event village.

Good Luck with the run on Saturday from Team ACTIPHACTIPH Water is the UK’s first alkaline ionised bottled water with the highest pH in Europe. Through a unique ionisation process, our purified spring water is infused with a blend of electrolytes and supercharged to create a smooth and clean tasting alkaline water with a pH9+. ACTIPH is the healthy choice as you restore and maintain your natural balance, enabling you to live life to the fullest and get the most out of every day. All ACTIPH bottles are 100% recyclable and BPA free including the cap and label which makes us unique to other bottled waters and we believe gives us a clear sustainability advantage.

Travel

Address: Mount Pond, Windmill Drive, London, SW4 9DE

Driving – There is no car park on site. If you park on the roads around the Common, you will need to check the pay machines and watch out for permit areas.
Tube –  The closest tube station to the event village is Clapham South (5 min walk) with Clapham Common (10 min walk) also in very close proximity. The event village is next to Mount Pond on Windmill Drive as per the map above. Follow the running crowds and look for the signs
Train – The Common is around 1 mile from Clapham Junction. So if you want to get the overground, you can either take a stroll (warm up?) or take the 35, 37 or 345 bus.
By Foot – The park is easily accessible by both foot and cycle. Cycle parking is available in the park.
Please, wherever possible walk, jog, run, 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.
You can use TFL to help plan your journey.
