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.
