⚠️ Heads up, runners!
This leg is a bit of a mixed bag — you’ll be tackling different surfaces along the way.
🚦 Road crossings & petrol station alert: Keep your wits about you and eyes open when crossing roads or passing the petrol station.
👟 Sharing is caring: The paths and towpath are open to the public, so expect dog walkers, cyclists, and Sunday strollers. Smile, wave, and weave safely!
Now onto the Finish!
As you head along the bank towards the finish line, some athletes may just be setting out on their run. Please take time just to encourage them.
You will be given your goodie bag at the finish line
