Finishers receive a Valentines Run medal and a goody bag. An aid table is provided at the end of each lap with water, squash, fizzy drinks and a variety of food. Toilet facilities are available in the main building. There is parking at the venue and participants are asked to car share where possible. A bag drop area will be located at the start/finish; this area is not secure and items cannot be watched at all times.
