Important Safety Notes:
- You must come and register before starting your run and you must return to registration to download even if you retire from your course.
- If you travelled to the event alone, you must state this at registration or leave your car keys.
- The area is high and exposed. Bring suitable clothing if the weather forecast is bad and carry a whistle.

Start Times: 

5.30-7pm. I will try and get everything set up for 5.00pm but I cannot guarantee it.

Courses Close: 

8pm. You must be back to download by this time, even if you retire, so we know you are back safe.
