You will be recorded as a DNF within the results of the event. If you decide not to get onto the sweeper bus, your running number is recorded and you are removed from the race, from this point onwards you will be continuing independently of the event and at your own risk. Any runner who does not complete the course within the time limit will not be permitted to complete the race and will not receive a result or a finisher's pack and medal.Ī sweeper bus follows the race at 6 hour 30 minute pace for the full and 3 hour 15 minute pace for the half and if you are passed by the sweeper bus at any point and for any reason, you will be asked to get onto the bus which will transport you back to the finish area at the earliest possible opportunity. Therefore we strongly discourage participants who do not intend to complete the course within these time limits. The events are serious athletics endurance races which require a large amount of appropriate training and preparation in order to complete safely. Yes, the events operate a strict maximum cut off time of 6 hours 30 minutes for the full marathon (from when the back of the race crosses the start line) and 3 hours 15 minutes for the half marathon (Again from when the back of the race crosses the start line).
If you are unsure as to whether the factors outlined above will impact upon your entry, please contact our event team using the contact form at the bottom of this page and we will be happy to help. These times are designed to be as inclusive as possible but anyone entering an event must be able to stay within the time limit as key course facilities such as closed roads, hydration stations and toilets cannot remain in place indefinitely.Īs event organisers we will ensure that we can accept entrants from wheelchair and handbike users across all events wherever possible but there may be some circumstances in which this isn’t possible. There are also maximum time limits for all races which are outlined above. Any entrants who are predicted to complete the course significantly ahead of the elite field can unfortunately not be accommodated on the course as the event operates on roads which are closed for a limited period of time and would not provide a safe route to anyone significantly ahead of the elite field. We will do everything that we can to accommodate wheelchair and handbike users but there are also time limits which all entrants must stay within. Anyone taking part in a wheelchair or handbike must be self propelled for the entire race, therefore, participants in electric wheelchairs and individuals being pushed by a friend/colleague are not permitted on the course. There are no separate wheelchair or handbike races, anyone entering the events will be included within the mass field for their respective race.
We welcome entries from wheelchair and handbike users across all of our events.
