Directions to Race Venue: Ripley is 3 miles north of Harrogate just off the A61 Ripon Road. The post code for the event centre is HG3 3AY.

 
Car Parking: There is ample parking for competitors and supporters in Ripley. Please follow directions. Do not park at the side of the roads in Ripley, as this will lead to congestion.

Changing and Toilets: There will be toilet facilities available in the main car park. Unfortunately we are unable to provide any changing or showering facilities.

Drinks: There will be 2 drinks stations on route, in Birstwith at 4 miles, and at 8 miles after the bridge in Hampsthwaite. Drinks will also be provided at the finish.

First Aid: Qualified first aid assistance will be in attendance in Ripley and a response vehicle. There will be a sick bay in Ripley Castle.

Medical Advice: Please do not run if you feel unwell. If you suffer from any medical condition, please write the details on the back of your number.

Time Limit: There will be an official time limit of 13 mins per mile (2 hours and 10 minutes overall).

Race Abandonment: We sincerely hope that abandonment decisions are unnecessary. However should we be unfortunate, runners will be informed as soon as a decision is made. In the event of a late cancellation, we will endeavor to update our website (see address above). We will also advise Stray FM (97.2 FM) and BBC Radio York (103.7 FM/95.5 FM)". Unfortunately entry refunds will not be possible, as many of the race expenses will have been incurred.
