England Athletics rules prohibit dogs in races. Anyone seen racing with a dog will be disqualified.
If the event offers multiple distances on the same day, it is possible to change your distance prior to the start of the event providing that there is still availability in the new distance. We can switch your entry from the higher distance to the lower distance for free; however, you will be charged the cost difference to upgrade you from a lower to higher distance.
If you have booked via our website then you can self manage this change online but the system will charge you £5.
However, if you email our friendly customer service team on info@nice-work.org.uk then they will arrange this free of charge not including any difference for a distance upgrade.
If you wish to change distance on the day of the race, please visit our registration team at Race HQ in plenty of time before the start of the race and they will be able to arrange this for you. Our timer will manually adjust your race distance and ensure that you still receive an accurate time. Please note that, if you change distance at the race you may not be able to collect a medal for your new distance. The Race Director will be able to advise on the day. Please note, that when changing distance either before the day of the race or on race day itself, there may be a difference to pay in the entry fee if you are increasing the distance you are racing. No refunds will be given for the difference in cost if you drop to a shorter distance. This is because all the costs associated with your race (bib, chip, medal etc) have already been paid out for the original distance.
Yes! We have no issue with transferring your entry and allow free transfers as long as we are notified before the start of the race. You may self manage a transfer via your booking confirmation providing that your transfer is completed three weeks and one day prior to the race at 23:59. This is so that we have time to send out the bib number in time for race day. After this time, you must email info@nice-work.org.uk to arrange your transfer.
We will need the following information for your alternate:
Your full name
Name of new runner
Age
Date of birth
Address
Email
Contact Number
Running club (if applicable)
Emergency contact (name)
Emergency contact (number)
Your alternate must not run without having supplied us with the above personal details or wearing an official race number.
Please note that, only the person to whom the race number is issued may wear that race number. Any unauthorised transfers are strictly prohibited; it's vitally important that we know who is running on the course in the event of a medical emergency.
Partner events may have different rules regarding transfers to another runner.
Where Nice Work is the race organiser, you can contact us via email at info@nice-work.org.uk. If the race is a partner event, then you can still email info@nice-work.org.uk. Alternatively, the race organiser’s contact details are displayed on the right-hand side of the event listing page.
Most of our races will have an unmanned baggage drop at Race HQ. You are welcome to use this baggage drop, however, this is done at your own risk and discretion. The team will not handle your bags and you will be responsible for labelling them clearly. We will direct you to this information in the Race Day Information email sent out a few days prior to the event. Alternatively, you can find this information via the 'View Race Day Information' link on the relevant event page of our website.
The Race HQ and registration desk is usually close to the start/finish area. There will be race signage and marshals on site to help direct you. However, we will direct you to this information in the Race Day Information email sent out a few days prior to the event. Alternatively, you can find this information via the 'View Race Day Information' link on the relevant event page of our website.
It is extremely rare that changing facilties are available at races so we recommend arriving ready to run! However, if changing facilities are available then we will direct you to this information in the Race Day Information email sent out a few days prior to the event. Alternatively, you can find this information via the 'View Race Day Information' link on the relevant event page of our website.
The refreshments provision will vary from race to race. However, we will direct you to this information in the Race Day Information email sent out a few days prior to the event.
Whilst it's not compulsory, seasonal silliness is something we embrace with gusto! Should the yuletide mood capture you, we encourage you to celebrate this special time of year with your very best seasonal costumes!
We will have a prize for the best dressed runner in a seasonal costume. It’s super fun and it’ll do wonders for your elf-confidence! So, let your imaginations run amok and show us your best Christmas creations!
This varies from race to race. If you are attending a Nice Work event then we will endeavour to provide a photographer and all subsequent photos will be available after the race, free of charge. Look out for an email a couple of days after the event with a link to photos. If you are attending a Partner event, then the presence of a photographer will depend on the organiser and, if applicable, details on the photographer and how you can obtain your photos will be included in the race day information emailed out a few days prior to the event.
Having a Nice Work account enables you to keep all your race bookings in one place. It will track your results and gives us the flexibility to add credit, should the need arise. It makes future bookings much easier and helps to keep all of your booking information in one place.
