Event Hub
We will have food and drink available at the start/ finish area for everyone before, during and after the running events. We encourage everyone to support all participants across all events, it’s the people that make the event!
We will have commentary throughout the event to call everyone coming through the finish. We will do a rolling presentation including random prizes as each event finishes.
We will also have some live music and a beautiful lawn to kick back and relax on with family and friends. Talk about how good you are or how you’ll never run another marathon again, well until you sign up to your next one…
