Facilities

Race office

Your Race Office is located in the Event Village and open between 12.00pm – 3.00pm on Saturday and then from 7.30am on Sunday. Please note, if you have already received your race number, you don’t have to register on the day... you’re all set to go!

Baggage store

Our baggage store is located on Surrey Street. Please ensure your bags are dropped in good time to make your way to your assembly zone.

Drink stations

Bottled water has been kindly provided by the Asda Foundation at 5k and 7.5k and at the finish. Participants are advised to ensure that they consider the effects of dehydration and drink plenty of fluids to compensate.

Event village

Playing host to our wonderful partner charities, including our very own Jane Tomlinson Appeal, the event village will be situated in Tudor Square.

First aid

Should you find you require medical assistance, personnel will be on hand to help at regular intervals on the course with fixed first aid stations located near to the water stations. In addition there will be a first aid unit and recovery area located near to the finish

Food and Drink

There are a number of bars and cafés in the area that will be sure to welcome spectators and participants, and are often bursting with atmosphere after the event.

Headphones

Running in headphones is permitted. However, it is vital you can still hear marshals’ instructions, emergency vehicles and fellow competitors throughout the event, so please set your volume accordingly.

Why not try out some UKA approved Aftershokz?

AfterShokz

Aftershokz are our official headphone provider for Run For All. They use bone conduction to deliver sound through the cheekbones to your inner ear. This means that you can enjoy your music and still hear everything around you including marshal instructions, emergency vehicles and fellow competitors. It is vital that you are aware of your surroundings all around the course.

Race numbers will not be posted to those participants who provided a postal address located outside of the UK as we can’t guarantee the safe delivery of the race number.

Address changes

Using your race number bib

Timing chip

Your timing chip is affixed to your race number, do not attempt to remove or fold the chip. Do not pierce the chip with safety pins.
Bib number

Wear your chipped bib number on your chest on the outer layer of clothing e.g. if a running jacket is worn, wear your number on top of this. Do not obscure/ cover your bib number + chip with a bum bag/ running belt.
Arm position

We encourage runners not to position their arms to start/stop a personal timing device on or right in front of the bib whilst running over the timing mats themselves as this impedes the signal. Arms can be positioned slightly away from the body, or the devices can be started/stopped when the runner isn’t on the actual mat.
Keep your number safe

Race numbers are not interchangeable and entries cannot be assigned, transferred, sold or gifted to any third party. Do not under any circumstances allow anybody else to run with your race number. Amongst other issues, this can create major problems for the medical team should they need to treat unknown runners.
Your memento

Your bib & timing chip does not need to be collected in after the event and is yours to keep a memento of your race day!

Can't run anymore?

Race numbers cannot be interchangeable and entries cannot be assigned, transferred, sold or gifted to any third party. Do not under any circumstances allow anybody else to run with your race number. Amongst other issues, this can create major problems for the medical team should they need to treat unknown runners. Anyone found to have done this will be disqualified
