08:00
You can make your way to the start area from 08:00. Here you will find starting pens which will be based on your predicted finishing time. Anyone who is expecting a race time of sub 35 minutes should make their way to the start line where you will be guided into the ‘Elite Start Area’. Pens will be split in times of 10 minutes and you should go to the ‘Pen’ that you think indicates the time you will take.
We kindly ask that anyone who is intending to jog or walk head to the rear of the pens to ensure that those wishing to run the event (often attempting a personal best) can do so without being held up in crowds.
Approximately 20 minutes before the start of the event there will be a mass warm up which we welcome everyone to take part in.
