If you start to get headaches, feel dizzy and nauseous then you may be suffering from heat exhaustion and need to seek medical advice. Listen to your body. Talk to the nearest volunteer who will be able to help you get attention. The common symptoms of heat exhaustion include confusion, muscle cramps, heavy sweating, headaches, nausea/vomiting and dizziness. If you become aware of these symptoms, then seek medical help immediately.

RACE NUMBER & TIMINGS CHIP

A bib with your race number and timing chip on the reverse must be clearly visible on your front for the duration of the race. Please use an elastic race belt or safety pins for your race number. Each run will start with a different colour race number. Please make sure the colour of the race bib in your race pack matches the colour shown on the information board. It is compulsory to wear these numbers.

TIMINGS SYSTEM

Timing antennas will be positioned at the turn around points and at the finish line. We’ll endeavour to provide you with all your timing splits, but this is not guaranteed. Very occasionally, a timing chip may not be read, or a timing antenna may fail and timing splits may not be available.

You must pass all timing points with a valid chip read. No chip read could result in your disqualification or request for a supporting GPS route from a certified watch brand. You’ll receive a total finish time providing we can see your race number when you cross the finish line. If you withdraw during the event, please make sure you return your timing chip, otherwise, we will think you are still out there racing! Please note that start time is a chip start rather than a gun / wave start, i.e. your time starts when crossing the start line antennas.
