Important notice

Safety & Licence Requirement: In-ear or over-ear headphones, AirPods, or any device that blocks your ability to hear traffic, marshals or other runners are not permitted and may result in disqualification.

Open-ear / bone-conducting headphones (e.g. AfterShokz) are permitted provided your ears remain unobstructed and you can clearly hear instructions and approaching runners.

We’re not killjoys — this is to comply with race licence conditions and to keep everyone safe. There’s nothing worse than calling ahead to pass and the runner in front can’t hear you. Please help us make the course safe for all participants.

Proudly organised by BookitZone Events  •  ARC Licence No.: 26/0147
