Is there a time limit to run the 21.2km?
Runners need to complete the 21.1km distance under three hours to get marshal support and have their results recorded.
Where can I collect my race bib and leave my gear?
You can collect your race bib on the day at the check-in table.
Your race timing chip is in your bib, so you need to wear it on the front of your clothing during the race. The chip is needed for timing, to help marshals direct you on the course and to identify you in photos.
Race bibs feature a special tear-off baggage tag that you can attach to your gear to keep it safe during your run.
The gear drop-off area is located near the check-in area. We will look after your belongings while you race, but it’s not a good idea to leave valuables in the baggage area.
