YOUR BIB NUMBER
Once you have collected your bib number, it is important that you fill out the information on the back. This is for your safety. When complete, it needs to be securely attached the FRONT of your running top. It needs to be visible at all times, especially the silver timing tag. If you cannot clearly see the tag, neither will the timing equipment and you won't get a finishers result. The chip timing tag is pre-attached so make sure you don’t fold, cut, deface or damage in any way or you will not get a finishing time. Pins to attach your bib number are supplied if you need them.
You must not use someone else’s bib number, nor let someone else use yours. Bib number swapping is strictly prohibited for several reasons, the most important of which is the danger and confusion it can cause in the event of an incident on the course. It also causes issues with the results and you could cheat someone out of a prize.

BAGGAGE & KEY DROP
There is an ‘un-manned’ baggage drop area located next to the registration area for small bags, jackets etc. Do not leave any valuables in the baggage area, just essentials needed after your run. We also have a key drop for your car keys. This is located at the registration desks. Place your keys into your race pack envelope and hand over to the staff for safe keeping during the event.
