The course may be altered following a health and safety review.
Finishers who complete at least 3 km receive a rubber duck themed medal and a rubber duck. Distance pins are provided for half-marathon distance or greater. All finishers receive a goody bag, with a vegan goody bag option. An aid table and drinks table are available at the start/finish of each lap, offering drinks and snacks including vegan options.
