Course and safety
The course uses a mixture of park paths, pavements and quiet roads that are mainly flat with generally good surfaces. The route begins with a loop of Bitts Park, returns toward Carlisle Castle for two laps, then heads back to Sheepmount Stadium with the finish close to the small grandstand. The 5 km route is officially measured.
Participants are asked to take care at turns and to be aware of cars and cyclists. A full course risk assessment, route maps, the race permit and the measurement certificate will be on display at event HQ on race day. A race safety briefing will be held before the start. Prize presentation for 1st, 2nd and 3rd male and female follows the race. Age group prizes are paid by BACS within seven days and are awarded according to the number of competitors in each category. Withdrawals up to one month before the race incur a 50% charge; after that date no refunds are given. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
