We will not stop you from using a personal music device whilst participating, but we strongly recommend that you do not.

It is important that you are able to hear what is happening around you, including any emergency services that may be operating. Please note that you will be held strictly and solely liable if found to be responsible for harm to yourself or any third party, as a result of wearing a personal music-playing device.

I am quite a slow runner, what happens if I don’t finish or it takes me more than 6 hours?

The roads around the course must follow a strict re-opening schedule. We have worked this out so that even if someone was just continually walking fast, they will be able to finish the race on the actual road surface of the route.

However, anyone moving around the course at slower than 6 hour pace (that is slower than 4 miles an hour), may be told to move on to the pavement and in effect regard themselves as a pedestrian.

In addition, there will be cars and ambulances on the road if something happens or you are unable to finish.

Can I take part with a bike, roller skates, skateboards etc.?

Participants are not permitted to use any of the above or similar in the event and those attempting to do so will be prohibited from starting and will be removed from the course.

Likewise, anyone attempting to start or join the race in any outfit that we, in our absolute discretion, deem unsuitable and/or dangerous to other competitors and spectators, will not be allowed to run at the event.
