Before competing please consider:
Are you still fit to compete? Do you have a temperature?
A lot can happen between entering an event and race day itself. Entrants who are fund raising for charities or taking part for the first time often feel under pressure to take part even if they are unwell or unfit.
You should never compete with a fever as there is a risk of causing Myocarditis (inflammation of the heart) which can be fatal or debilitating in the long term. Do not compete if you feel unwell or have just been unwell. If you feel feverish, have been vomiting, have had severe diarrhoea or any chest pains it is unfair to you, your family and the event support staff to risk becoming a medical emergency. You are unlikely to perform well and do yourself any justice. Remember - -there are many races but only one “you”.
What if I normally take medication?
If you have a past history of medical problems or are taking medication or using an inhaler please bring this to attention of the Registration staff and/or the medical support staff as this information is invaluable. For example, knowing that you are diabetic or asthmatic can speed the diagnosis and treatment of your problem. Please complete your medical details on the reverse of your race number.
Avoid dehydration
Regardless of the weather conditions arrive at the start line well-hydrated. Aim to drink 200 - 300 ml every 15 - 20 minutes during the race. Water is fine for events of this distance. A carbohydrate / electrolyte drink may help you to rehydrate after the race.
Watch for warning symptoms
Slow your pace if you start to feel unwell during the race. Seek support from race marshals or medical staff if you do not improve. Cramps can be an early sign of becoming dehydrated - don’t ignore them. The following can be warning symptoms of heat-related illness: cramps, nausea/vomiting, diarrhoea, palpitations, exhaustion.
Avoid a sprint finish
Sprinting to the finish line will increase the stress on your heart. Unless you are an elite competitor you should avoid a sprint finish.
Start times
Start times will be published on the website on the week before the event.
