    How to get to the Race<\/h4>\n

    You’ll find maps and directions on the How to Find Us<\/a> page.<\/p>\n

    Parking<\/h4>\n

    Car parking arrangements are shown below.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Please car share where possible – there are only so many spaces in each car park and we need to minimise the amount of on-street parking as much as possible. There have been complaints in the past about runners blocking driveways, so your co-operation will be appreciated here. Competitors must not park in Browns Lane as this affects access for residents and may impede the race route.<\/p>\n

    As in previous years, a small amount of parking for the disabled is available close to the Race HQ and the start. We ask that you advise us when entering the event so that spaces can be reserved.<\/p>\n

    Vehicles and their contents are left entirely at owners’ risk.<\/p>\n

    Race Route Description – see course map<\/a><\/span><\/h4>\n

    The race start is on Browns Lane, 150m from its junction with Washbrook Lane. The race is over one lap on, mainly, rural roads. Arrangements are being made to ensure it is traffic free but this cannot be guaranteed so caution should be exercised at all times. Runners should keep to the left hand side of the road wherever possible. The course is described as undulating with the highest point at 6 kilometres and the lowest at the finish line, a difference, in height, of 80 metres. The course will be marked and signed at each kilometre.<\/p>\n

    First Aid and Safety<\/h4>\n

    Arrangements have been made for a paramedic and assisting First Aiders to be available at the start and finish with support on the course. If you experience any difficulty during the race, stop running and make your way to the nearest marshal. If you see someone in distress please notify the nearest marshal so that help can be summoned. A sweep vehicle will follow the tail of the race to collect anyone unable to complete the race. Please note that if you are at all unwell or recovering from a cold or flu, do not run as this can be extremely dangerous. The weather in July can be variable, so please ensure you have suitable kit on the day.<\/p>\n
