What you need
When you come to collect your race number we advise you bring with you a copy of your entry confirmation, either on paper, or on your phone. Don't worry if you don't, as long as you are on the confirmation list, everything will be fine. All the race packs are in alphabetical order.
What is in the race pack
In your envelope you will find your race number, which will need to be securely to the front of your running top. The timing chip tags are already attached to your number, so do not remove, cover, fold or tear it.
