The same terms and conditions apply to complimentary entries as the paid entries (excluding the transfer option). If you are unable to compete closer to the event for whatever reason, please let us know. As we incur costs for every complimentary entry, runners who drop out prior to the event and fail to inform us risk losing the opportunity for a complimentary entry in the future. Under new UK Athletics rules, any athlete found to be running with any race number other than that issued to them will be disqualified. Both they and those who pass on the number may be reported to UK Athletics and subject to disciplinary action by the governing body.
Each complimentary elite entry incurs a cost to us. Those who have an elite entry who fail to attend, without informing us in advance, on two occasions across our events will not be offered a complimentary elite entry in the future.
