The organisers will deploy about 450 signs and position about 80 marshals to safely guide you around 13+ miles of countryside. Your feet belong to you and we must respectfully insist that you plant them wisely and in a manner which allows you to retain control. Where the course crosses / uses a road, marshals will be present to advise and guide you. Obstacles such as stiles and bridges exist on the route. Approach them carefully and at a speed which allows you to suitably navigate them. Livestock should be tucked up inside on race day but remember that you're in the countryside which is where some animals live. Be aware of, and respectful towards, any animals that you encounter. Please run on, or within a metre of, the designated race route - always. We don't have exclusive use of the countryside. Respect other footpath users; say 'hello', wave, and smile but don't touch or lick. Please stop and help injured / ill race participants. You will feel (and be) a better human being for doing so. Marshals are present for your safety. If a marshal politely asks you to do something then there is a good reason; please obey.
