Entries include a bespoke medal, free photographs and trophies or prizes for leading finishers. Vehicle admission charges are included in the entry fee and free parking is provided in the Walled Garden off Lady Oak Lane, limited to 300 spaces; the organiser encourages car sharing. The area is also accessible by bicycle.
