Age restrictions are specified per category; entries close shortly before the event. Entry pricing varies by category and booking period and some categories include items such as a race hoodie or goody bag and T shirt for relay teams. A timing chip and strap are issued at number collection and must be worn on the ankle under the wetsuit and returned after the race. Failure to return the timing chip and strap incurs a £50 charge to release a bike from transition. Race terms state places are non refundable and entries are not transferable between different entry types or years. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
