Hot and cold drinks and refreshments are available in the Tree Top Cafe. A post-race drink and snacks are provided after the finish.

All courses are marshaled and a first-aid team is based at the start and finish. Runners must follow marshal instructions and confirm safe arrival at the finish desk. Earphones are prohibited. The trails are not suitable for dogs, canicross, pushchairs, baby prams, or run buggies (run buggies are allowed on the fun run but terrain may be difficult). Children under 10 in the fun run must be accompanied by an adult. The park operates a car-park exit fee. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
