Race Number Information

Your race number should start to arrive in the post from 8th October.

If, for any reason, you do not receive your race number, you can collect these from the Race Office on event morning from 07:45.

📍Race Office: Scarborough Spa 

Have you changed your address since registering?

We are only able to change your address up to 6 weeks before the event takes place. If you are unable to collect your race number from the old address you can come to the Race Office on event weekend to be reallocated a new number.

What if I'm coming from overseas?

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.

However, if you do have a UK address that your race number can be posted to prior to the event, please contact us at info@runforall.com with details. Alternatively, you will be able to collect your race number from the Race Office on the event weekend. Opening hours of the Race Office will be detailed on our website at www.runforall.com in the week prior to the event.

Important Note

Do not under any circumstances allow anybody else to run with a race number under your name.

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.
