Event details

Please remember to bring your own water bottle already filled as there will be no bottled water provided at events. Water refill stations will be available to use.
There is not a designated car park for this event, but there are a number of parking bays along the main road adjacent to Palm Bay.
The closest train station to the venue is Margate Station, which is an 8-min taxi or 47-min walk from the event site. StageCoach bus route 33 stops just outside the event site at the Leicester Avenue bus stop.
The Margate course is suitable for wheelchairs users with assistance. The course covers both grass and tarmac pathways but is mainly flat.
There are no dedicated wheelchair parking spaces but the bays along the edge of the event site are wide enough.
There is a drop kerb at Palm Bay Café where you can be dropped off and from here the event site can be easily accessed via the pathways.

Bring a water bottle
We’re trying to reduce single-use plastic at Race for Life. Please bring your own reusable water bottle, already filled. We'll provide an ecofriendly water-refill station at the finish that uses as little single-use plastic as possible.
Have the right kit
It’s a good idea to check the weather before your event and dress accordingly. Think breathable sports gear (leggings and shorts are ideal) and well-fitting trainers. For Pretty Muddy, wear something you don’t mind getting dirty.

Be sun smart
Stay sun safe by finding shade when you’re not on the course and covering up with clothes, a hat and sunglasses. On parts you can’t cover, use sunscreen with at least SPF15 and a 4 or 5 star rating. Find out more about being sun smart.
Your back sign and race number
Remember to bring your back sign and Race number which will be sent to you in the post – don’t forget safety pins so you can attach them to you.
