Question 1

Is there a cut-off time that I have to complete the course by?

Accepted Answer

Each participant must only enter if they recognise that they make their best efforts in training for and completing the 13.1-mile race in less than 3 hours calculated from the time the last runner crosses the start line.  This is because roads closed for the event need to be reopened to schedule.  There will be a sweep van to collect runners who are failing to keep with required pace.  If you refuse to board the sweep van when asked the organiser will no longer accept liability for your welfare.  At this point you are no longer part of the race.
