Question 4

Race Numbers

Accepted Answer

At registration you will receive your Race Number.
If you have any special medical conditions which might require attention, please mark a red cross in the top right corner on the front of your race number.
Your race number must be securely fastened with safety pins on all four corners and be clearly visible at all times.
You will not be allowed into the runners only areas or to start unless you are wearing your number and carrying the required kit.
At the finish, positions and times will not be given to numberless runners and they will not be permitted to cross the finish line.
Numbers must be worn as issued and NOT be cut, folded, otherwise concealed or mutilated in any way, any of these and you won't be getting a finish time.
There does seem to be some confusion over this last point, we did think it was simple - if you alter the race number in any way or your number is not clearly visible at ALL times, we will understand that you no longer want to be a part of the event.
