Quick Actions
Tips & Advice
- Bring your own water bottle or hydration system, as the event operates on a 'bring your own bottle' policy to reduce waste.
- Arrive no earlier than 8:25 AM to collect your race number, as the site and setup will still be in progress before then.
- Consider carpooling or using public transport to reach Shipley Country Park, as parking is available but encouraged to be shared.
- Be mindful of other park users, as the route is within a public county park and runners do not have the right of way.
- The aid station focuses on 'enjoyable fuel' like sweets and cakes; if you require specific energy gels or supplements, it's advisable to bring your own.
