PARKING PLEASE NOTE: If you park on the Sportcity grounds then YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO LEAVE BEFORE THE END OF THE EVENT. This is because the course runs directly alongside Alan Turing Way and runners will still be going along the route. Alan Turing Way will be opened once the last person has passed. Until then the gates will remain closed. Therefore, IF YOU NEED TO LEAVE BEFORE THE END OF THE EVENT THEN YOU MUST use the Velodrome opposite Sportcity . Please follow the directional signs to the Velodrome. The roads will close at 9 a.m. after this time you will not be allowed into Sportcity and will only be able to use the Velodrome. The chip is to be placed on your shoe – PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE THIS WHATSOEVER. Timing is taken every time you run over the timing mat which is sited at the start and finish. If you do not run onto the mat – you will not be timed and therefore receive no finishing time.
