Toilets are provided inside the event village and a cafe is on site. Race pack collection and a secure baggage area operate from the event village with tear off baggage labels on race numbers for collection.
Event logistics note that there are no pacers. Friendly marshals will guide runners around the circuit and there are multiple spectator viewing points around the track. The event welcomes buggy runners and wheelchair athletes and requests that they remain mindful of other competitors. Dogs are not permitted within the event village.
