Staying Safe

Marshals

Please be advised all marshals are volunteering their time for free and without their assistance we would not be able to put the race on. Please respect marshals. Any abusive behaviour or language will result in immediate disqualification.

It is your responsibility to know the route and to ensure your own safety on course. Marshals are there purely for reference and directional purposes and are not permitted to stop traffic.

• No outside assistance is allowed at any time.
• Please do not use mobile phones or listening devices that may impair your hearing or concentration in any way on the course as this will lead to disqualification. When racing, you need to be aware of other competitors and the general public (both on foot and live traffic).

• Should a time or penalty be queried after the event, this must be submitted within 24 hours of the race. A review panel will meet 48 hours after the event and all decisions will be final.
• All decisions are final. The Race Director and Race Referee have the final say on all decisions and outcomes. For safety purposes, the Race Director and Race Referee have the ability to implement and introduce laws and rules on the day.
• Please make sure you are at the start line, 30 minutes prior to the event start.
