Hospice Run
Next Race: 21/09/2025
Lower Common Cricket Ground, Tunbridge Wells, KENT, TN1 1DT
All of our events are timed using chip timing. You will be given a race number and, on the back, we will fix a timing chip.
This chip will register when you pass over the start and finish mats, logging your time.
We will endeavour to have live and provisional results available on our website shortly after the event. We will send you a link to the provisional results board on the same day as the race. Results will be verified by our timing team in the days directly after the race with official results being confirmed by the following Thursday.
Headphones are not permitted for our races. However, bone conducting headphones can be worn instead.
As of 01 April 2024, England Athletics have updated their rules regarding the wearing of headphones at races. The updated rule states:
"The wearing of headphones, or similar devices, (other than those medically prescribed), is not permitted on shared usage courses. This includes, but is not limited to, open roads, parks, recreation grounds, seafront promenades, public footpaths and other such areas where those not participating in the race may be present..."
Anyone seen wearing headphones as described above, will be disqualified from the race. ---
Bone Conducting Headphones:
The rules also go on to state, "Headphones that work by conducting sound through bones and do not sit in or on the ears are acceptable but must leave the ear clear of obstructions to hearing." If you do choose to wear bone conducting headphones then we ask that you have the volume turned down low enough to hear the marshal.
Before attempting to race we ask that you make sure you are 100% fit to do so. If you feel unwell or are carrying an injury, we would strongly recommend not taking part and only return to running once you feel fully fit to do so. If you are unsure if you are fit to run, please speak to your doctor.
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.
Whilst we don't supply gels there are some, longer races, that will also include aid stations carrying a some/a mix of jaffa cakes, jelly babies, bourbons, cola etc. 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. If you have been used to using a particular brand of gel as part of your training, then we would recommend not deviating from this during the race and bring some along with you.
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.
Nice Work is a different breed of racing organiser.
We deliver our own original 'Nice Work' races, fully hosted and organised by us.
We also deliver 'Partner Races'. This means that we are working with a host Partner Organisation and provide timing and/or race management services for their event on their behalf. These partner races may have a slightly different rules and feel to them to other Nice Work races.
When you view our racing calendar, you'll see that underneath each picture, the race organiser is named as either Nice Work or another Partner organisation.
Absolutely. You know your body and if you're not feeling up to running then you shouldn't push yourself beyond your limits. But, please let our race registration team at Race HQ know! We need to be fully aware who is on the course, so for health & safety reasons, please let the nearest marshal or a member of the registration team know if you drop out of the race. You will need to give them your name and bib number. Please note, we will not be able to issue you with a refund if you do not complete the race.
Yes. There will always be a First Aid provision at both our Nice Work and Partner events.
You will be able to find them on the finish line and, for some longer races, they will also be placed on the course.
Should you feel unwell at any stage of the race, please do not hesitate to wave down a marshal and they will call First Aid for you and ensure you are well cared for.
If you are unable to make your way to the next marshal point, please advise a fellow runner and ask them to notify a marshal of your location. You will find a list of emergency contact numbers on the back of your race number.
No! If you have already received your race bib in the post then you are ready to race!
Yes. Your course will be clearly marked using large route arrows and directional cones, as well as being marshalled throughout.
Please listen and obey all marshal instructions given. There will be a sweep marshal which will follow the last runner to make sure that no one is left on the route. All marshals will remain in place until stood down by the sweep marshal.
You can let us know via email to info@nice-work.org.uk and we will pass this information on to the medical team. Alternatively, you can let the Race Director or registration team know on arrival at the race. Please always remember to fill out your medical and emergency contact information on the back of your race bib before you run. If you have a medical condition that our First Aid team will need to know about in the event of an emergency, then please put a visible 'X' on the front of your race bib, preferably in a red pen. Pens will be available from the registration team at Race HQ.
Provisional race results are posted on our website shortly after the race has finished. A link to race results will be emailed out to all runners on the same day. Our timing team will work on verifying the results and post confirmed and official results on the Thursday after race day. If you have a query regarding your result, please submit it to info@nice-work.org.uk before the Thursday after race day or your result will not be updated.
Power of 10 and RunBritain will automatically pick up your results within approximately two weeks of the race and only if that race has been licensed by England Athletics, which most of our races will be. Please check with our team via info@nice-work.org.uk if you are unsure. If Power of 10 or RunBritain do not pick up your results within a couple of weeks of the race, then please contact these organisations directly as they operate separately from us and we have no influence or access to their systems.
