Start times are organised in staggered waves every 15 minutes; groups should register for the same wave time. The listed minimum fundraising target is £50.

Facilities on site include toilets and refreshments. Parking is available at Milehouse Park & Ride approximately 150 m from the start; Blue Badge parking with a clock displayed is available nearby.
