First Aid:
First Aid cover will be provided by a professional medical team. First Aid station will be located at the start and finish and on course. In order to help our medical team help you, it is critical you fill out the medical information form on the back of your race number.
If you are injured or unwell to carry on at any stage please notify the nearest marshal who will call for First Aid assistance. It will be the discretion of the medical team if they transport you back to the finish.
Pulling Out:
If you retire from the race please return your timing chip (PLEASE AVOID THE FINISHING LINE AREA), if you plan not to return to the finish, it’s really important that you let the nearest Marshal to you know and give them your race number. This is so we can account for you at the end of the race. It is your responsibility to arrange transport back to the start.
Medals / Prizes:
There will be a quality bespoke medal for all runners to collect at the finish.

You may leave a small bag at the baggage area during the race, although every effort will be made to securely store your baggage, Please DO NOT leave any valuables, cash. Jewellery etc in your bag as we cannot be held responsible for any loss or damage. Items not in a bag maybe refused or left at your own risk.

Litter:
Please be mindful and respect local residents and DO NOT throw your bottles, energy gels in gardens or over walls etc. Where possible please leave your litter at the nearest water station or with the nearest marshal where possible when a bin is not available. Runners will now be disqualified and taken off the results if seen deliberately discarding their rubbish outside of a water stop or not with a marshal.
PLASTIC AND ITS USE IS AN INCREASING PROBLEM
Cut off times:
Time limit – We ask runners to be able to keep a pace of 12- 15min a mile. If you are running slower than this pace, you will still be able to finish, however, when directed to do so you will need to run on pavements and run as a pedestrian obeying all signals and the highway code. We cannot guarantee volunteer marshals will continue to be on course and therefore it is your responsibility to look at the route and follow the course signs.
Directions / Parking
We recommend you arrive in Conwy in plenty of time, Conwy is a small town and can become very congested on large events like this, the race start is only a five minute walk from car parks 1 & 2 as is the start/finish from race HQ.
We have two main parking areas available, parking charges apply, please have change for the machines.
If you are local, please try and park in the surrounding areas, Deganwy, Llandudno Junction.
