Safety:

A comprehensive risk assessment will be available. The risks associated with competing in an outdoor, urban, area are significant and need to be taken seriously by all competitors who take part at their own risk and are responsible for their own safety. Parents are particularly asked to emphasise these points with their children. All courses will involve crossing roads (most in a 20mph zone). Main roads are are mapped in a darker brown shade.  The main west/east link road (shown by red hatch) must be crossed at the marked underpass. The crossing on course 6 will be marshalled.

If you have a medical condition that first aiders should know about in an emergency, please contact the organiser with details, before/at the event before your run, in confidence. Details will only be used for the purposes of this event and will be deleted/destroyed afterwards.
