Chip times will also be displayed (which is the time you cross the start line to the finish line)
Both times will be displayed. Up to you which one you share on Strava!
Is there a cut off time?
As shown on the entry page, we’re asking if anyone is likely to take longer than 1 hour 45 mins to please let us know
Can I race with my kids buggy?
No. As a courtesy to other runners we can’t allow pushchairs
Can I wear headphones?
We strongly advise against wearing headphones. It can be dangerous as we need all runners to be able to hear instructions from marshals, and all can be made aware of any potential hazards on route
The only headphones that we could recommend be worn are the ‘bone conducting’ headphones that don’t sit in your ears – such as Aftershokz Openmove (we sell them in the shop)
What time should I arrive?
We would suggest arriving approx. an hour before the race to allow time for parking, registration, bag drop, toilets
Road closures will be in place – full info will be in your race pack and shown on our website
Is water provided?
There will be a water station at approx. 5/6k and bottles of water will be available at the finish. We ask you dispose of any litter responsibly
Are there marshals?
The route will be fully marshalled by some very kind volunteers who are giving up their Sunday morning to make sure you’re safe
Can I offer to marshal at your event?
We really appreciate help from anyone. if you feel you could help please let us know by emailing sales@sportsfeet.co.uk
Will you have toilets available?
Yes. We will have a combination of toilets and urinals within the grounds of Richmond Rovers Juniors and Norbury Farm Shop
If we’ve missed anything you’d like to ask please email us at sales@sportsfeet.co.uk
