The course is mainly flat, except for one section which is very steep. However there is an alternative route for wheelchair users, and our marshals will be on hand to assist.
Supporter / spectator access
Inviting your friends and family to support you on the day is a great idea, they can share in the joy with you as you cross the finish line and ring the bell. They can also help you with those important things, like holding your belongings whilst you walk, jog or run round the course!
Please note, whilst we hope we can open our events to families and friends supporting on the day, this may not be possible due to government guidelines around COVID-19. We will update on this nearer the time.
