Race Numbers and Start
Race numbers will be posted out in the week before race day for those who have paid for that option. For those collecting numbers, they will be available from the Information Point in the Race Village from 8am on race morning. If you have not received it by the Thursday before the event (for postal entries) or if you have an issue with your race number (i.e, damaged or lost), you must contact us via email info@carsington7.co.uk prior to 12pm on Saturday 9th May. We will not be dealing with reissuing damaged or lost race packs on race day.
All runners must wear race numbers pinned to the front of their running vest throughout the race. 4 pins will be provided on collection. It is a race requirement that all runners complete the details on the back of their race numbers to include name, emergency contact details and any medical conditions. Any known medical conditions must be indicated on the front of the race number with a red ‘X’. Pens and pins will be provided on race day.
Any participant found to be running with any number other than that issued to them will be disqualified and may be subject to a ban from the event. Swapping numbers can create a dangerous medical situation on race day. Details of the transfer process can be found on the ‘Transfers’ section on the ‘Enter’ page.
From 09:18am, runners will be called to the start area in groups according their colour on their race number. Runners will be spaced out on the start line and there will be three wave starts with a short gap between. Please follow all starting instructions. Please do not congregate in areas close to the start until you hear your announcement.
Please be patient at all times in the start area and do not get over-concerned if you have missed your call to the start line. Runners based at the back of the field will be able to see their own personal chip time. It is anticipated that all runners will be in place ready to start from 09:25am.
Any clothing discarded at the start by runners should be thrown into the bin at the actual start line. Any clothing discarded elsewhere will be regarded as litter and disposed of accordingly. Any runner found to be littering (other than discarded clothing at the start) may be disqualified from the race.
