Entrants should keep contact details up to date for posting of race packs.

Participants and spectators must follow a published code of conduct that covers respectful behaviour, avoidance of abusive language and harassment, and appropriate social media use. All participants are required to adhere to the UK Athletics anti-doping rules. Noncompliance may lead to exclusion from remaining legs of the series and loss of accumulated points.
