Please arrive 15 to 20minis before your start time so that you are prepared and ready to go on time.

Parking
In dry weather this route is accessible to wheelchair users, but due to the large majority of the course being on grass, assistance is recommended.
In wet weather a large section of the course will be inaccessible to wheelchair users which will significantly reduce the distance. The grassy start/finish area will also be difficult to access.
