Race Marshalling
The roads are not closed to traffic; keep to the left hand side of the road unless instructed otherwise by
race marshals. Please follow the marshals’ instructions; they are there to look after your safety. This is
particularly important at the relay changeovers where marathon runners will be instructed to keep to one
side of the road to allow the relay change over to take place safely on the other side of the road.
Marshals are not allowed to stop the traffic; they are only there to help you.
Please be aware that although time keepers will be as helpful as possible, they should not be disturbed
whilst runners are coming in.
All our marshals are now carrying a basic first aid kit (blister pack, Vaseline, plasters etc…) should you
require access to it, please approach any of our marshals.
Distance Markers
There are mile markers along the course as well as signs for 10km, 20km, 30km, and 40km and half
