Can I wear headphones?

For safety reasons, wearing headphones is not permitted as we want to make sure you can hear any safety instructions from our marshals on the route.

Bone-conducting headsets are permitted.

What measures are in place for participant safety?

To ensure the safety of all our participants we work with traffic management company Amber Langis to close the roads for the event.

We will also have our wonderful marshals with phones or radios placed in strategic positions around the course.

Medical professionals will be present on all routes and at the event village.

Please listen to marshal instructions and be aware that marshals can only advise motorist and do not have the power to stop traffic. Emergency vehicles will be given access to the route.

Are there toilets?

Yes, toilets will be available at the event village on the day.

Please make sure you give yourself enough time to use them ahead of the start of your run.

Where can I view my run time?

Our chip timing company Nice Works will upload all run times to their website shortly after the event.

What's your refund policy?

Given the limited number of spaces for the event, entry fees are non-refundable unless we change the event venue or date.

If you are unable to attend Hospice Run, your registration fee will be accepted as a donation.
