Start times
The race will officially begin on Sunday 8 October 2023 at 09:00.
All runners will receive their individual race day timetable by email as part of their runner instructions.
In your email, you’ll have a personal boarding pass which will contain your recommended arrival time along with your wave loading times and estimated start time.
Your bib will also indicate which wave number you are in. On race day, there will be screens in the assembly area that will tell you to load into pen A, B, or C depending on your wave number. You can also check these below.
After loading into your pen, you will be walked forward to the start line by marshals.
You can run in a later wave if you need to, but we ask that runners do not promote themselves to earlier waves.
