Unfortunately this event is not deemed suitable for wheelchair users due to the terrain of The Rye. Nearly all of the route is on grass or woodland paths. The ground can also become boggy in poor weather conditions.

For spectators who are wheelchair users, there is blue badge parking at The Lido within the park, however the route to site is on grass so the best parking is in the town centre as this is a tarmac route to the event site.
