Please be aware that you are sharing the roads with other runners and cyclists, many of whom live locally. We ask that you race with care and remain courteous at all times.

Water Stations
There will be a water station at approximately the half-way point together with a water station on the finish. Whilst we will ensure that our water stations are well supplied, runners should ensure that they are fully hydrated and also consider carrying their own water.

Going Green
To help reduce the carbon footprint of this race, we would like to encourage all our runners to bring their own camel packs or reusable cups for this race. Our teams at the water stations will be happy to fill any receptacle that you might bring with you so that you stay hydrated and racing fit! If you are able to car share, then this would be wonderful!
