There is no parking at the venue so please use the numerous town centre carparks. The roads around the venue can get very busy at times so please allow time to get to the event site. There is a train station in the town centre which is within walking distance from the Quarry.
We would recommend that this event is wheelchair accessible with assistance. A small section of the course is on grass, but it is mostly paths. The course is fairly flat however there are a few inclines that would require assistance to get up. The venue is accessible from all entrances with limited disabled parking available at the leisure centre.
