Race Start

Please note that the Event Village is a 15-minute walk from the main entrance, and the start line is a further 15 minutes away. We recommend arriving with plenty of time to drop off your bags, use the toilets, and get lined up for the race.

Runners will be set off in waves based on their estimated finish time. After the warm-up, each wave will be called to the starting pen, where our marshals will guide you into a starting formation. The first runners will cross the line at 9:00 a.m., and each subsequent wave will follow in 5-minute intervals.

Baggage

There will be a bag drop area within the Event Village where you can safely leave your belongings whilst you run.
