COVID GUIDELINES: COVID guidelines (summary here) require us to avoid congregating in crowds, even outside, so please do not hang about the carpark, download etc. We are particularly concerned to be seen to be doing the right thing as this is a popular area with dog walkers and the general public.
You must always be courteous and give way to members of the public and other competitors and maintain suitable 2m social distancing as a priority. Even sacrificing a few seconds from your race time if required.
In addition:
when following another competitor please remain at least 10m behind to avoid aerosol inhalation from other competitors
please maintain 2m distance apart at control sites
please move quickly away from control sites.
If you have already entered and paid and wish to change course(s), contact Linda Kelly via Google Forms below.
