Warm Up

All runners are asked to assemble on the start line at 11.35am so that they can take part in a warm-up before they get going.

At the Start and Finish

Please note that the start and finish line is outside the Rock Shopping Centre, Bury.

The Junior race starts at 11:45, followed by the Mini race at 11:48.

Once crossing the finish line, all mini and juniors are asked to collect their goodies including that all-important medal and a selection of goodies.

Participants will then be directed to the collection point by our team of friendly volunteers where they'll be able to meet up with their parents or guardians

Baggage
