• Are there aid stations on course and what is provided?

All information about aid station can be found HERE. Aid stations for 2024 will again be "cupless", however, we have made some changes to ensure a positive and safe event for participants while maintaining a minimum environmental footprint. You can read more about our strategies to achieve this goal HERE.

• Can I use headphones while running?

In 2024, we will allow runners to use either bone conductions earphones such as "Aftershokz" or a single earbud. This is to ensure the safety of participants and the general public on the footpaths during the event.
