Entry fees don’t only cover on the day costs like road closures, barriers, medals, policing, marshals, medical and many more, they help with the up front planning costs which include but are not restricted to: staff, risk assessments, safety measures, consultation with local business, road closure fees, medical cover, police assistance, supplier fees, licences – to name but a few. Organising any event requires a considerable amount of forward planning, risk and expense – and entry fees are used to support these efforts in order to put on the event.

All races rely heavily on a large number of volunteers (our RaceCrew as we like to call them) acting as marshals out on the course, giving out water and medals to name but a few jobs. If you’re not running it’s a great way to get involved. Please take a look at our volunteers page to find out how you can get involved.
