    Got questions? Run them by us and we’ll be happy to help.

    Contact us online through our form. We will try to respond to your questions within two working days.

    If you're using a wheelchair or handbike, we'd love to have you join the fun. No need to worry about separate races – you'll be part of the main race alongside everyone else. Just a heads up, if you're in a wheelchair or on a handbike, make sure you're the one doing the pushing – no electric wheelchairs or getting a helping hand from a friend on the course.

    If you have any questions about taking part, you can get in touch with the event organiser here.
