• Kit. Full body cover required – legs and torso, as defined by BOF.
• Whistles. Whistles are advisable especially for juniors.
• Weather. In the event of extreme wet, cold or windy weather. you will be required to carry or wear a cagoule. A decision will be made, based on the then Met Office forecast, and published on the event website and Racesignup no later than 2000 on Saturday 25th October 2025 as to whether cagoules are required or not. The decision will also be posted in Assembly.
• Ticks. Ticks are omnipresent, and tick-borne disease is a risk, albeit a small one. Apart from abiding by the full body cover rule, you should examine yourselves and your children carefully for ticks after your run. Lyme disease is a particularly unpleasant condition which can be caused by tick bites. Go to http://www.lymediseaseaction.org.uk for more information on Lyme disease and its symptoms.
• Solo runners. If you are travelling and running alone, you may wish to leave details of yourself and your car with enquiries.
