Information

This is an ERC Core Race.

Venue: Ridlins Athletics Stadium, Woodcock Road, Stevenage, SG2 9QZ

Parking: There is a car park that can take approximately 100 cars, but Woodcock road will be available to park on, and the local roads off Woodcock too. Please car share where possible and be considerate of those that live there. DO NOT park across anyone’s driveway. Please aim to get to Ridlins between 19:00-19:15. You will need to find your team to pick up your race number. Please do not discard your race number after the race, you will use the same one for all races.

Vest: You must wear your club race vests for this race and throughout the race series. During the race, always wear the numbered bib allocated to you by your club rep on the front of your vest.

Safety pin: Please don't pin safety pins through the barcode as it will probably make it impossible to scan. Your club should provide you with pins, but please feel free to bring your own.

The route: The race will start on the athletics track. It is an out and back route with approximately 90m elevation gain, almost exclusively on the wide pedestrian/cycle
paths. The turnaround point is a small loop before coming back the way you came. The race will conclude with a lap on the track.

Race Director's briefing: Please stay quiet during the briefing and listen to all points. Always read the Race Director's instructions, especially for parking.

Post Race: you must stay in finishing sequence until you have been given a finish token. You will receive a “parkrun style” finish token. You must retain this until you’re scanned by a volunteer using a smartphone App. As soon as you can, after leaving the funnel, please find the scanning volunteer. That volunteer will scan your bib barcode first, and then your position token. This scanning is essential as it becomes part of the results data. Please do not leave the venue until you've been scanned and do not leave the venue with the token. Please do not duck out of or into the funnel. Make sure to back and support your clubmates and teammates as they finish.

There will be light refreshments to replace basic energy and fluid lost from racing. Make sure to drink some water afterwards, to rehydrate.
