Timing, results and awards
The event uses chip-on-bib timing. Instant results are displayed on the ResultsBase timing screen and are posted online after the race. The event is not UK Athletics affiliated, so results will not be listed on external UKA-run platforms. All finishers receive a medal; trophies are awarded to some winners.

Race packs are collected on the morning of the event. Bag storage is available but limited. Toilets, water points (start, finish and lap section) and catering for coffee and snacks are provided within the event hub.
